Nephrolepis brownii aka Asian Sword Fern

When growing Asian Sword Fern, it is important to pay attention to the soil type you are using. This plant is very sensitive to dry soil and needs a potting soil that retains moisture. A good soil should still be well-draining and contain lots of organic matter. Coco coir or sphagnum moss are great options to provide the Asian Swordfern with the nutrients and moisture it needs. The added organic matter will also help the soil retain water and prevent the Asian Sword Fern from drying out too quickly. Before planting, make sure to mix compost or manure into the soil for extra nutrients. Also, make sure to water the Asian Swordfern regularly, making sure to keep the soil evenly moist but never soggy. With the correct soil and watering regimen, the Asian Sword Fern will thrive and bring lots of beauty to your home.

Asian Sword 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.

During the cold period, it is common for Asian Sword Fern to go dormant, resulting in a slowdown of growth. To accommodate this, waterings should be spaced out more.

There is no verified data on the toxicity of this plant in the records of Ploi. If any person, including yourself, a family member, or a pet, consume plant material with an uncertain toxicity level, it is advisable to seek the advice of a healthcare expert.

Repotting the Asian Sword Fern should be done either when it has doubled in size or on a yearly basis, whichever occurs sooner. Fresh potting soil with all the required nutrients, refreshed annually, will provide the plant with all the necessary sustenance, making the use of fertilizer unnecessary. Keep in mind that plants receive their energy from the sun, not fertilizer.
