ON THIS PLANT
A note from PlantMom
Neocheiropteris ensata is typically resistant to diseases and has relatively few insect pests. Its care is regarded as difficult because it needs a consistently moist environment and frequent watering. However, the roots are susceptible to rot if overwatered or if the surroundings lack adequate ventilation. Neocheiropteris ensata is best suited to growers with some experience, since most people can keep it alive for a period of time. Even so, it may struggle to prosper and its leaves can dry out and become less healthy over time.
