🌱 How to Care for Fan Maidenhair Fern to Prevent Grey Mould?
💧 How to Water
Water often enough to keep the soil evenly moist at all times using room-temperature water; never let the pot sit in standing water, since prolonged wet soil leads to root rot.
☀️ Lighting
Give it bright, filtered indirect light or light shade, such as near a curtained window; direct sun will scorch and dry out its thin leaflets.
🪴 Ideal Soil
Use a light, moisture-retentive, well-draining mix rich in organic matter such as coco coir or sphagnum moss.
