Ceratopteris chingii thrives in consistently moist conditions. Water thoroughly when the top centimeter of substrate begins to dry. Avoid allowing the soil to become waterlogged, which can lead to root rot.

In terrarium settings, maintain a high level of ambient moisture by misting regularly.

Pruning for Ceratopteris chingii is minimal, primarily focused on removing any dead, damaged, or yellowing fronds. Use clean, sharp scissors or a knife to make a clean cut at the base of the frond.

This helps maintain the plant's aesthetic appeal and redirects energy to new growth.

Ceratopteris chingii is easily propagated from spores. Collect ripe sporangia from mature fronds and sow them on a sterile, moist propagation medium.

Alternatively, division of established plants is possible when repotting, separating healthy rhizomes with fronds attached.

Repot Ceratopteris chingii every 1-2 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a blend of peat moss, perlite, and orchid bark.

Choose a pot that allows for ample root growth, ensuring it has drainage holes.
