Care Guide

Light

This fern prefers low to medium diffused light. Direct sunlight should be avoided.

Water and Soil

The Korean Rock Fern must stay evenly moist at all times but take care to not let the plant stand in water. A well-draining soil that is amended with peat moss and perlite is best for these plants.

Temperature and Humidity

These ferns typically prefer temperatures ranging from 60 degrees to 80 degrees F but can tolerate colder temperatures for periods of time. Humidity levels must be higher than average to keep fronds from drying. Misting the plant occasionally, adding a pebble tray, or introducing a humidifier are good ways to increase humidity levels.
