Care Guide for Diphasium

Twice per week

Water

Water: Diphasium prefers consistently moist soil and requires watering twice a week. While it can tolerate brief dry spells, maintaining optimal moisture supports its evergreen foliage. This species' growth and greenery depend on regular hydration, reflecting its origins in water-abundant environments.

Propagation: Diphasium is propagated mainly by division or spores. It thrives in indirect light, high humidity, and well-draining soil. Division occurs in early spring, ensuring roots and fronds are intact. Spore germination takes several months on moist, sterilized media. Avoid burying crowns during division.
