Care tips
Watering
The soil must never dry out. Keep it evenly moist and check it daily. One dry day can ruin the fronds.
Light
Partial shade with soft, indirect light. Direct sun scorches the thin fronds.
Feeding and repotting
Feed monthly in spring and summer at quarter strength. Repot only in spring, with care, as the roots are fine.
Watch out for
Dry air and drafts make the leaflets crisp. If they dry out, cut the fronds back to the soil and it may regrow.
