Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Psilotum complanatum prefers high humidity and regular watering, especially during its active growth period.

Allow the top layer of soil to dry slightly between waterings, but never let it dry out completely. Reduce watering slightly in cooler months.

Pruning is minimal for Psilotum complanatum. Remove any dead, damaged, or discolored stems as needed to maintain its aesthetic appearance and encourage healthy growth. This can be done at any time of year.

Pinching back the tips can sometimes encourage bushier growth.

Propagation is typically done through division of the rhizomes. When repotting, carefully separate clumps of rhizomes, ensuring each piece has some roots attached.

Plant these divisions into fresh, well-draining potting mix. It can also be propagated by spores, but this is a slow and more complex method.

Repot Psilotum complanatum every 2-3 years, or when it becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining, airy potting mix, often a blend for epiphytic ferns, which can include bark chips, charcoal, and sphagnum moss.

Repot in spring, during the active growing season, to minimize transplant shock.
