Indoor Growing Guide
Position in bright, indirect light or light shade, avoiding direct sunlight which can scorch the fronds. Keep the compost evenly moist but not waterlogged, allowing only the surface to dry slightly between waterings.
This fern appreciates higher humidity, making it particularly well suited to bathrooms or kitchens with natural light. Feed monthly with a balanced houseplant fertiliser during spring and summer. Avoid pouring water directly into the centre of the rosette, as this can encourage rot.
Indoor Placement
This plant is particularly well suited to:
- Bright bathrooms
- Living rooms
- Home offices
- Kitchens with natural light
- Conservatories out of direct sun
Avoid placing it close to radiators, air conditioning units or cold draughts, which can dry the foliage.
