ON THIS PLANT
A note from PlantMom

Sickle leaved holy fern generally has good resistance to disease and 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 the plant is overwatered or the environment lacks adequate ventilation. Sickle leaved holy fern is suitable for people with some growing experience, since most people can keep it alive for a period of time. Nevertheless, it may have difficulty thriving and its leaves can dry out and become less healthy over time.
