General Care
Sunlight
Thrives in medium to bright light, but can tolerate full sun. Also works well as a vigorous creeper outdoors and will self attach itself to most surfaces.
Also works well as a hanging plant and goes well with some of our hanging pots.
Water
Water every week, allowing soil to dry out half way down between waterings. Expect to water more often in brighter light and less often in lower light. Do not water directly into the center of your plant, but instead, water around it.
Keep soil moist but not wet at all times, especially during the growing season. Overwatering can damage your plant and lead to fronds quickly turning brown.
Humidity
Tolerates average indoor humidity.
Temperature
Average home temperature of 21c. If you’re comfortable, your plant is comfortable.
