Water: Tectaria thrives in humid environments, requiring regular hydration twice a week to mimic its tropical rainforest origins. To ensure robust growth, place tectaria in areas with high humidity, which supports efficient water retention and lush foliage.

Propagation: Propagation methods for tectaria include spore sowing and division, needing indirect light, warmth, and well-drained soil. Maintain high humidity and handle delicately. Use fresh spores or divide in spring, cover with plastic, and keep at 21-24°C. Transplant once established.
