Sun: Indirect

Crispy Wave ferns thrive in moderate to bright, indirect light. Aim to provide them with consistent, gentle light throughout the day. If natural light is limited, consider supplementing with artificial lighting using fluorescent or LED grow lights.

Light: Medium - Bright

Place your Crispy Wave fern in a location with indirect sunlight. While it enjoys bright, indirect light, direct sunlight can scorch its delicate fronds. Opt for a spot near a window where it receives filtered sunlight or place it a few feet away from south-facing windows.

Water: When half dry

Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water your crispy wave plant when the top half of the soil feels dry to the touch, typically once or twice a week. Avoid letting the soil dry out completely or sitting in water, as both can lead to stress or root rot. Water thoroughly and allow any excess water to drain away.

Humidity: High

Crispy Wave ferns prefer high humidity levels, similar to their native rainforest environment. Increase humidity around your fern by misting its fronds regularly with water or placing a tray of water filled with pebbles beneath the plant's pot. Alternatively, consider using a room humidifier to maintain optimal humidity levels.

Pet Friendly: Yes

Crispy Wave Plant is generally safe for pets, it's best to keep it out of reach of curious pets to prevent any potential ingestion. Some fern varieties can cause mild gastrointestinal upset if ingested in large quantities, so it's best to err on the side of caution and place your fern in a location where pets cannot access it easily.

Pro Tip

Rotate your Crispy Wave fern regularly to ensure even growth and prevent it from leaning towards one direction. This simple practice promotes balanced development and maintains the fern's attractive appearance from all angles. Rotate the plant 90-180 degrees every few weeks to expose all sides to sunlight evenly, resulting in a symmetrical and aesthetically pleasing plant.

Your Complete Guide to Pot Sizes: What Size Should You Choose?

When selecting a pot for your plant, it's important to find the right size. But with all the different options out there, how do you know which one is best? We're here to help!

MyGreenscape's pot sizes chart is a great resource for finding your perfect fit. Our easy-to-read chart takes out all the guesswork and helps you quickly choose the right size for your plant.

Smaller pots are best for seedlings or small plants just starting out. These tend to be shallow but wide, allowing enough room for the roots of the young plant but not too much where they get overcrowded. Medium-sized pots are ideal when your plant has grown from its infancy and is ready for more space. These are deeper and wider than small pots, so that it can accommodate larger root systems - making sure your plant gets enough nourishment while still giving it breathing room. Large pots are top choice if you have an established plant in need of lots of space - think trees and large shrubs! The spacious depth and width allow plenty of room for deep root systems without struggling for air or light.

No matter what size you choose, MyGreenscape has got you covered, with our pot sizes chart guaranteeing you find the perfect fit every time!
