Trichomanes godmanii requires consistently moist soil. Water thoroughly when the top layer of substrate begins to dry, but avoid waterlogging.

Using distilled or rainwater is recommended to prevent mineral buildup, which can harm this sensitive fern. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.

Pruning is generally minimal. Remove any dead, damaged, or yellowing fronds by gently snipping them at the base. This helps maintain the plant's appearance and encourages new growth.

Avoid cutting healthy fronds, as they are essential for the plant's vitality.

Propagation is best achieved through division of established plants. Carefully separate a small clump with roots and fronds and pot it in appropriate substrate.

Spore propagation is also possible but more challenging and time-consuming for home growers.

Repot Trichomanes godmanii only when necessary, typically every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining, peat-based potting mix.

Choose a pot that allows for adequate drainage and is slightly larger than the current one.
