Care Guide for Hacksaw fern

Twice per week

Water

Water: Hacksaw fern thrives in moist environments and prefers high humidity, with moderate drought tolerance. Water twice a week to keep soil evenly damp but not waterlogged. As an understory plant, it requires filtered light and careful watering during the growth season to avoid moisture fluctuations.

Propagation: Propagation of hacksaw fern primarily involves division and spore sowing. Success depends on humidity, indirect light, and well-draining soil. Handle fronds carefully, maintain stable temperatures, and control moisture. For division, separate rhizomes during dormancy; for spores, spread on moist mix, cover, and provide warmth until germination.
