• Water regularly during warmer months to maintain humidity.

• Reduce watering slightly in winter, but ensure the soil doesn't dry out completely.

Humidity:

• Thrives in high humidity environments.

• Ideal humidity range: 50-80%.

• Regular misting or placing the fern on a humidity tray can help maintain moisture levels.

Temperature:

• Prefers moderate temperatures, ideally between 20–30°C (68–86°F).

• Protect from cold drafts and ensure temperatures do not drop below 13°C (55°F).
