Chicken Fern (Cibotium barometz), a delightful addition to any indoor garden or shady outdoor area. This fern gets its name from the clusters of small plantlets that resemble miniature chicks, adding a playful touch to its graceful appearance. These are super soft to touch.
Light: Prefer bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the delicate fronds. They also thrive in shaded areas, making them suitable for indoor spaces with filtered light or outdoor spots with partial shade.
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water the plant when the top inch of the soil feels slightly dry to the touch.
Humidity: Maintain moderate to high humidity levels for optimal growth. Mist the fronds regularly or place a humidity tray nearby. Avoid placing the plant near drafts or heaters that can dry out the air.
