How to care for it

  • Light: medium to bright, indirect light. Direct sun scorches the fronds.
  • Water: keep the soil evenly moist, never soggy. Don't let it dry out completely.
  • Humidity: average to high. It's more forgiving of normal home humidity than most ferns.
  • Temperature: 60 to 80°F, away from heat vents and drafts.

Common questions

Is it safe for cats and dogs?

Yes. The ASPCA lists its close relatives, the Boston fern and sword fern, as non-toxic to cats and dogs. A pet that eats a lot of any plant may get a mild upset stomach, but it won't be poisoned.

Why are the fronds turning brown and crispy?

Usually the soil dried out or the air is too dry. Keep the soil evenly moist and raise the humidity. Trim off damaged fronds and new ones will grow in.
