Dryopteris filix-mas - Male Fern - British Grown
Light
Likes bright but indirect light; the heat of the direct sun can cause bleaching or scorching.
Water
Allow the top third of the soil to dry out in between waterings. Dropping needles is a common symptom of under-watering while yellowing of the foliage points to over-watering.
Humidity
Normal household humidity is perfect for this plant! Just ensure it's not too close to a radiator as this can cause scorching.
Soil
Likes loamy soil; a mix of sand, silt and clay will create the right conditions. Repot every two years; when repotting, hydrate 24 hours in advance to protect the roots.
Food
Feed every four weeks with water in the growing season, reducing to every six in autumn and winter.
Temperature
Room temperature conditions of 12-26°C are ideal for this plant.
Pet-safe
No, this plant is toxic to pets and tiny humans.
Sprouts Top Tips
The stems and roots of the asparagus fern grow from a tuber at the top of the soil; when multiple of these form, they can be separated to propagate your plant!
