Light
Bright, indirect light is best, as for most indoor plants; it can tolerate shade as long as there is some sunlight.
Water
This fern likes its soil kept moist, so water as soon as it starts to dry out (though make sure it's not soggy). Water less in winter.
Humidity
This fern likes high humidity, so will benefit from the introduction of a pebble tray. Be sure to keep out of draughts and away from radiators too!
Soil
Use a nutritious, well-draining soil; added sand will help thin fern roots to grow. A mix designed for ferns is perfect here! Repot every few years as the plant grows, once its roots crowd the pot.
Food
Feed every four waters in the growing season, reduce to every six in autumn and winter.
Temperature
Ideally likes room temperatures of 12-26°C; make sure it doesn't drop below 8°C in winter.
Pet-safe
Yes, but too much nibbling won't be good for pets, small humans or the plant!

Lovely little plant beautifully packaged. Arrived in perfect condition at a great price. Thank you so much :)
I bought a 'medium' and what arrived was a very generously sized plant which I was very happy with . Plant was in good condition, and was very carefully wrapped for shipping.
What a treat—a box full of surprise plants, including two I haven't grown before. All except one of the five received were far from wonky really, and I hope the struggler will catch up with the others with a bit of tlc! It's a great way to shop for indoor plants and loads of fun unpacking. The handwritten note is a brilliant guide on what they each need. I definitely recommend it, and I will likely be back to try the bigger version!!
Very happy! Exactly as ordered.
