Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top centimeter of soil feels dry. In warmer, drier conditions, more frequent watering may be necessary.

Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot, especially during dormancy.

Prune away any dead, damaged, or yellowing fronds at the base of the plant as needed. This helps maintain a tidy appearance and encourages new growth. Minimal pruning is generally required for this species.

Remove spent fronds after they have fully withered.

Bulblet fern is easily propagated by division of clumps in spring. Another method is to sow spores on sterile media in a moist, shaded environment.

Small bulblets that form along the fronds can also be detached and planted in moist soil to form new plants.

Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound, preferably in early spring before new growth begins. Use a well-draining potting mix amended with organic matter.

Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one to avoid overwatering.
