☀️ Light

☀️☀️▫️ (Medium)
The Variegated Silver Ribbon Fern thrives in low to medium, indirect light. Position it where it can receive gentle morning sunlight or diffuse light throughout the day to keep its fronds vibrant.

💧 Water

💧💧▫️ (Medium)
Keep the soil consistently moist, but be careful not to overwater. Allow the top layer of soil to slightly dry out before watering again to ensure you do not saturate the soil.

High humidity is key for the Silver Ribbon Fern. It’s perfect for naturally humid environments like kitchens and bathrooms or can be supplemented with a humidity tray or regular misting.

Repot every 1-2 years or when the fern outgrows its pot. Use a well-draining potting mix suitable for ferns to encourage healthy growth and prevent waterlogging.
