Sun Requirements ▾

Prefers bright, indirect light to part shade. Ideal near north- or east-facing windows indoors. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch delicate fronds.

Watering Instructions ▾

Water when the top 1 inch of soil feels dry, keeping soil consistently moist but not soggy. Never allow the soil to fully dry out. Use room temperature water for best results.

Care Tips ▾

Soil: Thrives in rich, well-draining, moisture-retentive soil. A blend of peat, perlite, and compost or a high-quality fern potting mix is ideal. Ensure containers have proper drainage. Fertilizer: Feed every 4–6 weeks during the growing season with a diluted balanced liquid fertilizer. Avoid over-fertilizing, as sensitive roots can burn easily. Humidity: Requires high humidity (50–70%) to thrive. Use a humidifier, mist regularly, or place on a tray with pebbles and water. Dry air can cause browning or crisping at the tips of fronds.
