How to water spring fern

The leaves of spring fern are large and thin, and have high requirements for water. The soil in the pot needs to be kept moist during the growth cycle. Especially during the high temperature period in summer, water must not be lacking. Similarly, when the ambient temperature reaches as high as 15 degrees, the frequency of watering needs to be reduced. At this time, the soil in the pot only needs to alternate between dry and wet. Spring fern likes moisture and can tolerate a certain amount of waterlogging, but long-term waterlogging will also affect the growth of the plant, easily causing root rot and even plant death. Spring fern has a high water demand and needs to be watered thoroughly twice a day in summer. The leaves should be sprayed with water frequently and the leaves should be cleaned frequently to maintain a moist microclimate.

Normally, spray water on the leaves, but in winter, as the temperature gradually drops, you should control watering appropriately, reduce the number of watering, and water when the soil in the pot is dry. Strengthen the management of watering in winter.

In short, it is best to water the plant when the soil in the pot is dry. It can be kept moist during the high temperatures in summer. If the ambient temperature is below fifteen degrees in winter, alternating dry and wet watering is required.
