care

Place in a warm, humid spot with bright indirect light and keep away from cold drafts, heating vents, and air conditioning. Mist leaves regularly or place near a humidifier to maintain the high humidity this fern loves. Feed monthly at half strength with a balanced liquid fertilizer during spring and summer and skip in fall and winter. Remove any brown or damaged fronds to keep the plant looking full and fresh year-round.
