📝 Expert Advice
Propagation by division or spores. For spores, sow on a sterile, well-drained medium in shade or part-shade; maintain high humidity and avoid full sun until established. Division is preferable in early spring or autumn. Provide rich, evenly moist soil with plenty of organic matter.
Remove dead or damaged fronds at the base; prune lightly in spring to encourage new growth; avoid heavy pruning, which reduces frond coverage.
