Australian Gem Fern in Cement

Water: Droops when thirsty and springs back with a soak. Thrives if soil is kept just damp but tolerates underwatering. Can even go completely dry for a short time. Underwatering = slower growth. In bright light, aim to water when the top soil is dry to the touch When in doubt, don't water. In low light allow plant to droop to prevent overwatering.

Light: Medium - bright indirect is ideal but does great in low light and offices. Will scorch and drop leaves in direct or intense sun.

Soil & Repotting: Prefers rich and acidic soil so aim for a peat based mix. Increase pot size if plant constantly droops from thirst.

Fertilizer: Fertilize once a month during the spring/summer. Dilute fertilizer to half its recommended strength. Too much fertilizer = browns leaf tips.
