How to take care of Silver Lace Fern

Sun: Indirect

These ferns prefer bright, indirect light. A location with filtered sunlight or a few feet away from a north or east-facing window is ideal.

Light: Medium - Bright

Silver Lace Ferns thrive in indirect sunlight or partial shade. Avoid placing them in direct sunlight, as it can scorch their delicate fronds.

Water: When top quarter dry

Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water the fern when the top inch of soil feels slightly dry to the touch, ensuring that excess water drains away to prevent root rot.

Humidity: Medium

Silver Lace Ferns require high humidity levels to thrive. To increase humidity, mist the foliage regularly or place the pot on a tray filled with pebbles and water. Avoid placing the fern near drafts or heating vents, as these can dry out the air.

Pet Friendly: Yes

Silver Lace Ferns are non-toxic to pets, making them safe to have around furry friends. However, it's still best to keep pets from nibbling on the foliage to prevent any gastrointestinal discomfort.

Pro Tip

To maintain the Silver Lace Fern's lush appearance, periodically trim any brown or yellowing fronds and remove debris from the soil surface. Additionally, consider repotting the fern every couple of years to refresh the soil and provide it with ample room to grow.
