Know before you buy
Yes, as this plant is not frost-hardy, it must be moved to a protected indoor location once temperatures drop in the fall. It thrives as a houseplant during the colder months provided it receives enough humidity.
You can increase humidity by misting the fronds regularly, placing the pot on a tray filled with pebbles and water, or using a humidifier nearby. This is especially important during the summer or when the plant is indoors near heating vents.
It requires bright, indirect light to maintain its vibrant green color. Avoid placing it in direct, harsh sunlight, which can scorch the delicate fronds.
The soil should be kept consistently moist but not waterlogged. Check the top inch of soil regularly; if it feels dry to the touch, it is time to water.
No, the trunk develops slowly as the plant matures. With proper care and consistent growth, the fern will gradually form its signature silhouette over time.
