🌞 Light Requirements

Thrives in bright, indirect light but also adapts well to low to medium light. Direct sunlight can scorch its delicate fronds, so filtered light is best.

💧 Watering

Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water when the top layer begins to dry out. Mist regularly to maintain humidity, especially in air-conditioned or dry spaces.

🌡️ Temperature & Humidity

Ideal temperature range is 16–28°C. This fern loves humidity, making it excellent for bathrooms or kitchens. In dry climates, mist daily or place near a humidifier.

🌱 Soil & Fertilizer

Use a well-draining, peat-rich potting mix. Fertilize every 4–6 weeks with a diluted liquid fertilizer during the growing season for lush growth.

✂️ Care & Maintenance

Remove old or yellowing fronds to encourage fresh growth. Repot every 1–2 years to refresh the soil and allow for new shoots. Keep away from dry drafts or heaters.

⚠️ Pet Safety

✅ Safe for pets – non-toxic to cats and dogs, making it a perfect family-friendly plant.

📍 Regional Care Tips
