Light:

• Filtered Light: Place your Jester’s Crown Fern in bright, indirect light. While it can tolerate some shade, providing filtered sunlight encourages healthy growth.

Water:

• Regular Feeding: Feed the fern with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Dilute the fertilizer to half the recommended strength.

Pruning:

• Regular Trimming: Trim away any yellow or brown fronds regularly to encourage new growth. Use clean scissors or pruning shears for a neat appearance.

Potting and Repotting:

Pests:
