Water: Originating from cool, damp forests, dendrolycopodium prefers consistently moist soil and thrives with regular weekly watering. While it tolerates drought moderately, it flourishes in humid indoor environments that mimic its native habitat, promoting optimal health and vigor.

Propagation: Primary propagation methods for dendrolycopodium include division and spore sowing, influenced by humidity, indirect sunlight, and well-drained, acidic soil. Ensure sterility to prevent contamination. Divide mature plants in spring or sow spores in sterile medium, maintaining moisture and warmth until germination or new growth appears.
