Stigmatopteris lechleri typically has strong resistance to disease and is affected by relatively few insect pests. Its care is considered difficult because it needs a consistently moist environment and frequent watering. However, the roots can rot if the plant is overwatered or the surroundings lack good ventilation. Stigmatopteris lechleri is best suited to people with some growing experience, since most can keep it alive for a limited time. Still, it may struggle to thrive and its leaves can dry out and deteriorate in health over time.
