A note from PlantMom

Pronephrium gymnopteridifrons typically shows strong resistance to disease and is affected by relatively few insect pests. Its care is considered challenging because it demands a moist environment and frequent watering. However, the roots are susceptible to rot if overwatered or if the surroundings are poorly ventilated. Pronephrium gymnopteridifrons is better suited to someone with some cultivation experience, as most people can keep it alive for a period of time. Still, it may struggle to prosper and its leaves can dry out and lose vigor over time.
