This plant likes to stay evenly moist or just dry out in the surface. When you touch the soil surface and it's no longer squishy and soggy, but feels like a well-wrung sponge, or it's just dried out, it's time to water. This plant could be watered several times a week, or less if you leave the plant standing in an inch of standing water each watering cycle. Remember that a smaller pot will dry out faster, so for a tiny 4-inch pot, you might need to water daily. | |

Notas de cultivo
This fern appreciates a humid room, so if you are seeing brown tipping and know your fern isn't drying out you can try to move it near a kitchen or bathroom sink.
Más información
This plant has been raised to live indoors; however, it can also grow outdoors in mild areas of California. Keep in mind that the plant will go through a stressful transition, especially if moved outside in particularly hot, cold, or wet weather. Even if this plant will eventually thrive in direct sunlight, it has not been grown in this level of light, so if you plant it in direct sun, just expect that the leaves may burn at first, then happily regrow as they acclimate to the new levels of light. Planting in the spring or fall will help with this transition.
