Care tips
Watering
Water weekly and keep the soil lightly moist. Its tuberous roots store some water, so do not drown it.
Light
Partial shade is fine. Too much sun makes the fine needles turn yellow.
Feeding and repotting
Feed every two weeks in summer. Repot when the thick roots fill the pot, which can happen fast.
Watch out for
It is not a true fern. It has fine needle-like shoots and can have thorns. Dry air brings spider mites and yellow shoots.
