WATER
Water thoroughly, then allow the top 2.5 cm of soil to dry out slightly before watering again.
Fronds that are yellow and wilted are a sign of overwatering. Cut back on water and trim off damaged fronds.
CARE
Repot in spring, when the roots have filled the pot. Move the fern to a pot that's only slightly larger. Use a pot with a drainage hole to prevent soggy soil.
Feed during the growing season at a low dosage.
