How to care for an Asplenium Parvati
Watering Asplenium Parvati
Asplenium Parvati likes even moisture but doesn't tolerate soggy roots. Water lightly about once a week, allowing the top layer of potting mix to dry out. Avoid puddles in the pot, as this can cause root rot. During the growing season in spring and summer, you can water more frequently.
Light requirements of Asplenium Parvati
This fern thrives in bright, indirect light. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight, as this will cause brown spots on the leaves. A spot near an east- or west-facing window is ideal. The Asplenium Parvati will also thrive in a slightly dimmed corner, although growth will be somewhat slower.
Potting soil and pot
Use a well-draining, airy potting soil, preferably a mix for ferns or aroids. Add perlite to promote air circulation around the roots. Choose a pot with drainage holes and combine it with a nice pot from our selection at Buy Pots for Houseplants . This ensures that excess water can drain easily.
Frequently occurring problems
Yellow leaves
Yellow leaves usually indicate overwatering or insufficient light. Check the moisture content of the potting soil and adjust your watering schedule. If necessary, move the plant to a brighter location to prevent chlorosis.
Plant drips
A dripping fern often indicates excessive water retention due to overwatering. Allow the top layer of soil to dry thoroughly before watering again. Ensure sufficient humidity by occasionally spraying with a fine-tipped plant sprayer.
Plagues
Spider mites, aphids, or thrips sometimes also infest ferns. Regularly inspect under the leaves and treat with a natural remedy such as an organic insect repellent. For specific tips, see the page on pests in houseplants .
Roots growing out of the pot
When roots appear at the bottom of the pot, it means the Asplenium Parvati is ready for a larger pot. Repot the plant in a pot one size larger and immediately change the potting mix. This promotes healthy growth and prevents the roots from forming a ring.
Brown edges on the leaves
Brown edges develop due to low humidity or direct sunlight. Increase the humidity by spraying daily or place a humidifier in the room. Protect the fern from strong sunlight by using a curtain or roller blind.
