Care at a glance

Water
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch.
Light
Provide bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the fronds.
Humidity
Requires high humidity, so consider using a pebble tray or humidifier.
Temperature
Maintain temperatures between 65-75°F (18-24°C).
Soil
Use a well-draining, peat-rich potting mix.
Fertilizer
Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength every 2-4 weeks during the growing season.
Toxicity
Non-toxic to pets and humans.
Propagation
Propagate by dividing the plant at the root ball, ensuring each division has some roots and fronds. Spores can also be collected and sown, though this is more challenging.
