ON THIS PLANT

Argyrochosma nivea is an Andean fern species in the genus Argyrochosma.

A note from PlantMom

Argyrochosma nivea generally resists disease well and has relatively few insect pests. Its care is considered difficult, as it requires a moist environment and frequent watering. However, the roots are prone to rotting if overwatered or if the environment is poorly ventilated. Argyrochosma nivea is appropriate for people with some growing experience, since most people can keep it alive for a certain period. Nevertheless, it may have trouble thriving and its leaves can dry out and become less healthy over time.
