Soil: Well-draining, peaty soil or a specialized epiphyte potting mix is recommended. Ensure the substrate has good aeration to prevent root rot.

Fertilization: Feed the fern with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 2-3 months during the growing season. Dilute the fertilizer to half strength to prevent nutrient burn.
