The Fishtail Sword Fern (Nephrolepis falcata, often ‘Furcans’) is a popular, easy-to-care-for tropical fern known for its forked, “fishtail” frond tips.
Here is a care guide for the Fishtail Sword Fern, Nephrolepis Falcata Plant:
1. Light
- Bright, Indirect Light or Partial Shade: This fern prefers bright, indirect sunlight or light shade.
- Avoid Direct Sun: Direct, strong sunlight can easily scorch the delicate fronds, leading to brown tips or patches.
- Good Indoor Location: An east-facing window or a few feet away from a south- or west-facing window is usually ideal.
2. Water
- Consistent Moisture: Keep the soil consistently moist but never soggy or waterlogged. They do not like to dry out completely.
- Watering Frequency: Water thoroughly when the top layer of soil (about 1-2 inches) starts to feel dry.
- Drainage is Key: Ensure the pot has excellent drainage to prevent root rot.
3. Humidity
- High Humidity is Essential: As a tropical fern, it thrives in high humidity. Lack of humidity is a common cause of brown leaf tips.
- Increase Humidity:
- Mist the plant regularly (daily is often recommended).
- Place the pot on a pebble tray filled with water (ensure the pot is sitting on the pebbles, not in the water).
- Use a room humidifier, especially during dry winter months.
- They do well in naturally humid rooms like bathrooms or kitchens.
4. Temperature
- Warmth: It prefers consistent warm temperatures, typically between and ( to ).
- Avoid Drafts: Keep it away from cold drafts, air conditioning vents, or hot radiators, as sudden temperature changes and dry air can stress the plant.
5. Soil and Fertilizer
- Soil: Use a rich, well-draining potting mix. A peat-based mix or a blend of standard potting soil with sand or perlite for improved drainage works well.
- Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer, diluted to half or quarter strength, every 2-4 weeks during the active growing season (spring and summer). Reduce or stop feeding in the fall and winter.
6. Maintenance
- Pruning: Regularly remove dead or yellowing fronds at the base to keep the plant tidy and encourage new growth.
- Repotting: Repot every 1-2 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound (roots are visibly circling the container). The best time for repotting is in the spring. Choose a pot that is only one size larger than the current one.
- Propagation: It is easily propagated by dividing the root clump when repotting.
