Christmas Ferns prefer consistently moist soil but dislike waterlogged conditions. Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry.

Reduce watering in winter when the plant is dormant, but never allow the soil to dry out completely. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.

Prune Christmas Ferns by removing old or damaged fronds at the base of the plant. This is best done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.

Clean cuts promote healthy new frond development and maintain the plant's tidy appearance.

Christmas Ferns can be propagated by dividing the rhizomes in early spring. Carefully dig up the plant and separate sections of the rhizome, ensuring each division has roots and at least one frond.

Replant the divisions immediately into moist, well-draining soil.

Repotting is generally only necessary if the plant becomes root-bound or outgrows its container. This is typically needed every 2-3 years, preferably in early spring.

Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one with excellent drainage.
