Water: Histiopteris thrives in moist environments, requiring consistent hydration and evenly moist soil. Water weekly and mist regularly to maintain humidity. As an evergreen fern, it retains vibrant fronds throughout the year with proper care, emulating its tropical habitat.

Propagation: Propagation of histiopteris occurs via spores, division, or tissue culture, requiring high humidity and warm temperatures. Sterilizing the medium is essential to prevent fungus. Division involves separating rhizomes, ensuring roots are present. Maintain moisture and shade until established for successful growth.
