Scale fern, also known as Arabian ceterach, Rusty-back fern, Common spleenwort
Scale fern is generally considered an easy-to-care-for fern, thriving in indoor environments with minimal fuss. The plant demands consistent moisture but is prone to root rot if overwatered, emphasizing the need for well-draining soil. It prefers shady spots with indirect light, avoiding direct sunlight which can scorch its fronds. Regular misting helps maintain the required humidity, marking a special care point for scale fern.
