Caring Tips

Watering

Just like most other ferns, Silver Lady grows best in moist soils. Water it frequently during the warmer months to keep the potting mixture moist, which will ensure proper growth. Make sure not to overwater because it will cause root rot. Avoid watering from overhead as the foliage can get damaged if it stays wet for an extended time. Water the plant once a week in winter. Water more frequently during summer. Another important thing to know is Blechnum is intolerant of lime, so do not use hard water on the plant.

Light

Blechnum prefers bright light with partial shade and a slightly warmer temperature. However, it cannot survive in strong direct sun.
