Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water deeply when the top inch of soil feels dry.

Autumn Fern thrives in humid conditions, so frequent watering is essential, especially during dry spells or in hot weather.

Reduce watering slightly in cooler winter months, allowing the soil surface to dry between waterings.

Remove any dead, damaged, or discolored fronds at the base of the plant as needed. This tidies the appearance and encourages new growth.

You can also trim away old fronds in late winter or early spring before the new growth emerges to refresh the plant's look.

Easily propagated by dividing established clumps in early spring. Carefully dig up the plant and separate the rhizomes, ensuring each division has healthy roots and several fronds.

Replant immediately at the same depth as the parent plant. Alternatively, spores can be collected and germinated under sterile conditions.

Autumn Ferns generally prefer to be undisturbed and can grow in the same pot for several years. If repotting becomes necessary due to overcrowding or the plant outgrowing its container, choose a pot only slightly larger.

Repot in spring, using a well-draining, peat-based potting mix.
