Place this plant on top of a pebble tray if your home has dry air. This will help keep the air around your Silver Lady fern humid.
Not to overly quote Sir Tom Jones here but “always treat her with respect.” If you start to notice her leaves turning grey or brown, make sure to give her a drink of water. Ideally, you’ll want to use filtered tap water to keep her well looked after, but this is only required fortnightly. You’ll always want her looking her best, so make sure she gets to spend her days relaxing in bright, indirect sunlight. Lastly, keep in mind that she can be quite hard to propagate - it can take up to 3 months - so you’ll need to be in it for the long haul!
