To care for the Tiny Nephrolepis Green Fantasy from the Decorum collection, also known as the miniature Boston fern, here are some important tips:
- Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but can adapt to lower light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.
- Watering: Requires regular watering. Keep the soil consistently moist but avoid overwatering. Ensure proper drainage to prevent root rot.
- Humidity: Needs high humidity levels. You can increase humidity by using a humidifier or placing it near other plants to create a more humid environment.
- Soil: Use a light, well-draining soil mix, such as standard houseplant soil mixed with some perlite or sphagnum moss.
- Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 18–24°C (64–75°F). Protect it from cold drafts.
- Fertilization: Feed the plant with a diluted liquid houseplant fertilizer once a month during the growing season (spring and summer).
- Leaf care: Clean the leaves regularly to remove dust and prevent dryness. You can mist the leaves to increase humidity around the plant.
