It prefers indirect or partially shaded light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHumidity\u003c\/strong\u003e: Maintain high humidity around the plant by misting it regularly with clean water and placing the pot on a pebble tray filled with water. Make sure the pebble tray does not directly touch the bottom of the pot to prevent the roots from soaking in water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWatering\u003c\/strong\u003e: Water the fern regularly to keep the soil slightly moist but not waterlogged. Allow the topsoil to dry out slightly between waterings. Also, make sure not to leave standing water in the saucer under the pot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSoil\u003c\/strong\u003e: Use well-ddraining potting mix for houseplants. A mix of houseplant potting soil with a bit of perlite or sand to improve drainage works well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTemperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: The Japanese Bird's Nest Fern prefers moderate temperatures. Avoid areas that are too hot or too cold. An ambient temperature between 18°C and 24°C is ideal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFertilization\u003c\/strong\u003e: Fertilize the plant every four to six weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted by half.
