Nephrolepis biserrata aka Giant Sword Fern

If you're an experienced gardener looking to push your limits, Giant Sword Fern will provide you with a rewarding and challenging experience.

Giant Sword Fern is very sensitive to dry soil. To ensure your Giant Swordfern is thriving and blooming, choose a potting soil that retains moisture. A good soil should still allow for adequate drainage and contain lots of organic matter. Coco coir or sphagnum moss are great soil additives that will help to retain moisture and provide your Giant Sword Fern with the nutrients it needs for healthy growth. Make sure to mix these soil additives into the potting soil before planting and water the soil thoroughly. By providing your Giant Sword Fern with a well-draining, moisture-retaining soil, you can help to maximize its growth and keep it blooming.

To ensure optimal growth, the Giant Sword Fern prefers bright indirect light for 6-8 hours each day. Insufficient light can result in slow growth and leaf drop, so it's important to find a well-lit location for this plant. Place it near a window, within a distance of 1 meter (3 feet), to enhance its potential for thriving.

During the wintertime, it is common for Giant Sword Fern plants to go dormant and their growth rate may slow down. Therefore, the amount of waterings should be spaced out more.

Giant Sword Fern is not known to cause harm to humans or pets.

The Giant Sword Fern should be repotted when it has doubled in size or annually, whichever comes first. Providing fresh potting soil with all the essential nutrients each year ensures the plant's well-being, eliminating the need for fertilizer. Remember, plants derive their energy from the sun and not fertilizer.

New growth will sprout from the top of the Giant Sword Fern as it grows vertically.
