Asplenium Parvati - Mother Fern

Asplenium Parvati, commonly known as Mother Fern, is a beautiful fern species with elongated fronds and a lacy appearance. It is known for its resilience and ability to thrive in a variety of indoor and outdoor environments.

Care instructions:

• Light: Mother Fern prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight, as it can scorch the fronds.
• Temperature: Keep the fern in a warm environment with temperatures ranging between 25-30°C. Avoid extreme temperature fluctuations.
• Humidity: Mother Fern prefers high humidity levels. Mist the fronds regularly or place a tray of water near the plant to maintain adequate humidity.
• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged. Avoid letting the fern sit in standing water, as it can lead to root rot.
• Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix with a combination of peat moss, perlite, and vermiculite.
• Fertilization: Feed the fern with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half-strength once every 2 months.
• Pruning: Trim any yellow or brown fronds at the base to maintain a tidy appearance and encourage new growth.
• Potting: Repot the fern every 1-2 years, or when the roots become crowded. Use a pot that has drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.
• Pest control: Keep an eye out for common fern pests like mealybugs and scale insects, and treat promptly with neem oil or insecticidal soap if infestation occurs.
