Water: Reflexed-margine single-leaf fern thrives in humid forest conditions, favoring regular humidity and moderate drought tolerance. Water twice a week for optimal hydration. Primarily cultivated indoors, reflexed-margine single-leaf fern prefers stable temperatures and adjustable humidity resembling its tropical understory habitat.

Fertilize: For reflexed-margine single-leaf fern, use high-nitrogen fertilizers bi-monthly in spring/summer and quarterly in fall/winter, applying 1/4 tsp per gallon of soil to avoid root burn. Water beforehand to enhance absorption and prevent foliage contact, promoting vibrant fronds and optimal health.

Pruning: Reflexed-margine single-leaf fern requires regular pruning of dead or damaged fronds, ideally in early spring, to promote healthy growth and enhance airflow. This practice reduces pest problems and encourages thriving. Use clean, sharp tools to prevent damage and disease spread.

Propagation: Reflexed-margine single-leaf fern requires careful propagation through division of its rhizomes, ensuring each section has at least one frond and roots. Success depends on high humidity and stable temperatures. Consistent watering is essential to keep the soil moist, promoting healthy root development for the new plantlets.
