How to care for Nephrolepis
Although it prefers a humid growing environment, it also fears waterlogging in the potting soil, especially in poor ventilation conditions, which can easily lead to root rot,烂根, leaf drop, and yellow leaves. Therefore, do not water when the potting soil is not dry.
Sometimes even a slightly dry state is fine. Don't water at the slightest sign of dryness. Water it when it's a bit drier, and in the summer, you can water a bit more, but the potting soil should not be too compact.
After watering, it should not become muddy. The potting soil should be mixed with decomposed leaf soil, sandy loam, and garden soil, which is fertile, loose, and well-draining, and does not easily retain water.
In winter, water even less, and slightly drier potting soil is easier to survive. Moreover, when watering, it is very important to keep it in a well-ventilated area.
In winter, avoid cold winds, but normally, you should open the windows often to ventilate and allow fresh air to circulate. With good air circulation, it will grow stronger and more lush.
