Cheilanthes chinensis is a resilient fern that thrives in indirect light and well-draining, gritty soil, mimicking its rocky native habitat. Its primary care requirements pertain to moisture levels; ensure consistent moisture without waterlogging. Special attention should be given to its need for higher humidity, which might necessitate regular misting or a pebble tray. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch its delicate fronds.
