About This Botanical
Heart Fern (Hemionitis arifolia)
A small fern with heart-shaped fronds that thrives in humid, filtered light.
How to care for Heart Fern
- Light: bright, filtered light, like a forest floor under a canopy. Keep it out of direct sun, which bleaches and dries the fronds.
- Water: keep the soil evenly moist, never soggy. Water when the top starts to feel dry. Overwatering causes yellow fronds and rot.
- Humidity: high humidity, around 60% or more, is the most important factor. A humidifier, pebble tray or bathroom helps. Dry air makes the fronds curl.
- Temperature: about 60 to 75°F. Keep it away from cold drafts; below about 60°F the leaves can brown.
- Soil: a moisture-retaining but well-draining mix, in a pot with drainage holes.
