Care Guide
  • Care Guide:
  • Sunlight: Loves bright, indirect light or partial shade. Direct sun will bleach her "silver" stripes and scorch her tips.
  • Best Room: A steamy bathroom or a bright kitchen shelf where humidity is naturally higher.
  • Snacks: A diluted balanced fertiliser specifically for ferns once a month during spring and summer.
  • Tropical Feels: She demands high humidity (60–90%). Mist her regularly or use a pebble tray.
  • Cosy Factor: Happy in standard room temps (18–24°C). Keep her away from drafty windows and radiators.
  • Thirst: Keep the soil consistently moist but never waterlogged. She hates drying out!
  • Safety First: Pet-Friendly! Completely safe for your curious furry friends.
  • The Bedding: A well-draining potting mix rich in organic matter that holds moisture without being heavy.
  • Family Tree: Propagate by dividing the plant into smaller clumps during spring repotting.
  • Space Needs: An upright, clumping fern that reaches about 30–60 cm in height.
  • Speed: A steady grower that quickly fills out its pot into a lush, feathery mound.
  • Uninvited Guests: Watch for spider mites and scale if the air becomes too dry.
  • Moving Day: Repot every 1–2 years when you see roots escaping the bottom holes.
  • Haircut: Snip away yellowing or dried-up fronds at the base to keep her looking tidy.
  • Fresh Air: An excellent air purifier that adds a touch of lush greenery to any tabletop.
  • Plant Lore: In Victorian times, ferns were prized symbols of humility and sincerity.
