Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering frequency during cooler months to prevent root rot.

Ensure good drainage to avoid standing water.

Prune to remove any dead, damaged, or discolored fronds. This can be done at any time of year. Trimming helps maintain the plant's aesthetic appeal and encourages new growth.

Use clean, sharp scissors or pruning shears for a neat cut.

Propagation is typically done by division of established clumps during repotting. Carefully separate sections of the rhizome, ensuring each division has healthy roots and a few fronds.

Replant immediately in suitable potting mix.

Repot the Starscale Fern every 2-3 years or when it becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a peat-based mix with added perlite.

Repot in spring.
