Asplenium Antiquum Mix

Plant Care

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the fronds. It can tolerate low light but may grow slower.
• Water: Keep the soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged. Water when the top of the soil feels dry, and ensure good drainage.
• Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 60-75°F (15-24°C). Avoid cold drafts and temperatures below 50°F (10°C).
• Humidity: Prefers high humidity. Mist the fronds or use a humidifier, especially in dry indoor conditions.
• Soil: Well-draining, moisture-retentive potting mix. A mix designed for ferns or a combination of peat, perlite, and pine bark works well.
• Fertilizing: Fertilize once a month during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, diluted fertilizer. Reduce feeding in fall and winter.
• Pruning: Trim any dead or damaged fronds to maintain a tidy appearance. The plant’s fronds naturally fade over time, so regular maintenance helps.
• Pests: Can be affected by pests like scale, aphids, or mealybugs. Treat with insecticidal soap if needed.
• Toxicity: Non-toxic to pets, making it a great choice for homes with animals.
