leather fern [2]

Grow under glass either epiphytically on bark, or in shallow pots or hanging baskets containing a proprietary orchid compost. Alternatively use a loamless compost with the addition of extra perlite or grit for sharp drainage. Water and mist the plant regularly when in active growth and sparingly in the winter. In the growing period apply a half strength liquid fertiliser monthly

No pruning necessary

Propagate by spores sown on the surface of loamless compost 21°C, or by separating rooted sections of rhizome and potting up individually

Generally trouble free
