Pruning Tips
Snip back dead or damaged fronds as necessary.
Wildlife Value
No specific wildlife benefit known in the UK. Ferns do, however, help with soil stability in your garden, preventing erosion and adding organic material to the soil over time.
Positioning
Full to partial shade is ideal for this fern. A sheltered spot would also be ideal, though this fern can cope with some exposure too.
Water
The crown of the plant should be in moist soil but protected from excessive winter rain.
Soil
Moist but well-drained soil is perfect for this plant, and it is happy with most soil types.
Food
A mulch layer around the crown will help keep the soil fertile; mulch regularly as the plant uses up the nutrients in the soil.
Pet-safe?
Yes- no toxicity reported, though it's best for the plant and your pets if they don't nibble too much!
Sprouts Top Tips
To keep this plant happy, it likes moist soil but doesn't want to be sat in a puddle. Adding a layer of mulch around the crown of the plant can help protect it from excessive water, as well as keeping the soil below damp in summer. This will also add nutrients to the soil- so one step will do all the care you need for this plant.

Just what I was looking for. The coir moss pole gives my monstera some much-needed support and allows it to grow upwards. I've had the pole for two weeks and the plant is already looking much happier. Thanks!
Had a desire box was ok but one plant not potted.. others very small.. rescue box from else’s where bigger plants and stronger looking
Had to grab this one as the pastel green was so pretty. There is a water resivour at the bottom to stop plants sitting in water so its perfect for orchids but at the moment I'm using it for another plant.
Wanted one of these for ages so I had to jump at the size and price of this plant. Stunning large leaves and has already grown loads
