Top Tip
Nephrolepis thrives in high humidity, making it ideal for bathrooms or kitchens. If placed in a drier room, mist its fronds daily or use a pebble tray with water to maintain the necessary humidity. Trim away any browned or withered fronds regularly to keep the plant healthy and encourage fresh growth. With the right care, this fern will create a lush, vibrant display in your home.
How to Water
Water Nephrolepis regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. During the growing season, water when the top 1–2 cm of soil feels dry, adjusting frequency based on the environment. Reduce watering slightly in winter but do not allow the soil to dry out completely. Use filtered or rainwater to prevent mineral build-up, which can damage the fern’s sensitive roots.
How to Plant
To plant Nephrolepis, use a pot with good drainage and fill it with a light, well-draining potting mix enriched with organic matter. Remove the fern carefully from its container, taking care not to damage the delicate roots, and position it so the crown is level with the soil surface. Backfill with soil, firm gently, and water thoroughly. Place the pot in a spot with bright, indirect light and ensure it is shielded from direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
