Care
Care difficulty: BeginnerAn easy-care selection once established. Soak the moss and root area thoroughly, let excess water drain, and let the moss dry before watering again. Check the mount rather than following a fixed watering schedule.
Give bright, filtered daylight near a window, with a sheer curtain to soften strong sun. Keep air moving around the plant and mount.
Protect from frost and cold drafts. Water less often when cooler weather slows drying.
Do not rub or wipe the pale hairs from the fronds. Use a gentle stream when watering, and leave the old brown shield fronds attached.
Description
The branching fertile fronds have a dense covering of pale, star-shaped hairs and an upward-reaching posture. Their tips can curl upward as they mature.
