Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water thoroughly when the top centimeter of soil feels dry to the touch.

Reduce watering slightly in cooler months to prevent root rot, but never let the soil dry out completely. Good drainage is essential.

Prune away any dead, damaged, or yellowing fronds as needed to maintain a tidy appearance. This can be done at any time of year. Remove old fronds at the base to encourage new growth and prevent fungal issues.

Propagation is typically done by dividing established plants. Carefully separate sections of the rhizome with healthy fronds and roots during repotting.

Each division should have sufficient roots to sustain itself and be planted in its own pot.

Repot young plants annually, and mature plants every 2-3 years, or when they become root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix, ideally one formulated for ferns.

Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one.
