How to care for Narrow Leaved Glade Fern

Difficulty

Narrow Leaved Glade Fern is a low-maintenance plant that requires minimal attention, making it an excellent choice for beginners.

Water

Narrow Leaved Glade Fern should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Soil

Narrow Leaved Glade Fern loves a well-draining soil. Perlite and vermiculite help with drainage, while coco coir adds organic matter, so a good potting soil mix will have all three. You can improve store-bought soil by adding some perlite to it.

Lighting

Narrow Leaved Glade Fern can survive in low light conditions, making them ideal for rooms that are far from windows or other light sources. However, for best results, place the plant less than 6 feet from a south-facing window to ensure it receives enough light.

Toxicity

Ploi's records do not contain confirmed information on the toxicity of this particular plant. In the event of accidental ingestion of plant material with questionable toxicity by you, a family member, or a pet, it is always a good idea to consult a healthcare professional.

Fertilizer

The Narrow Leaved Glade Fern should be repotted either when it doubles in size or annually, whichever comes first. Providing new potting soil with all the vital nutrients annually is enough to support the growth of the plant, and thus, there is no need for fertilizer. Remember that plants derive their energy from the sun, not fertilizer.

Growth-pattern

The Narrow Leaved Glade Fern is clumping in nature, with new growth originating from the soil in close proximity to the original plant.
