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

Chilean Hard Fern thrives in high humidity, so misting regularly or placing the pot on a pebble tray filled with water can be beneficial, especially in dry environments.

Prune to remove any dead, damaged, or discolored fronds. This can be done at any time of year. For tidiness, trim back spent fronds at their base.

Heavy pruning is generally not required unless the plant has become overgrown or is suffering from disease.

Propagate by dividing established plants in spring. Carefully separate the rhizomes, ensuring each division has healthy roots and at least one frond.

Pot the divisions in well-draining, moist soil and keep them in a humid environment until new growth appears.

Repot every 2-3 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound, typically in spring. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a blend of peat moss, perlite, and compost.

Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one to avoid excessive moisture retention.
