Care Notes

Plant in vertical rock crevices, dry-stone walls, or between flagstones where sharp drainage is guaranteed; flat, moisture-retentive soil leads to crown rot. Top-dress with fine grit rather than organic mulch. Water lightly until established, then rely on ambient moisture. Avoid disturbing or transplanting once sited, as this fern resents root disturbance and establishes slowly.
