ON THIS PLANT
A note from PlantMom

Long-tail spleenwort typically resists disease well and faces relatively few insect pests. Its care is regarded as difficult because it needs a consistently moist environment and frequent watering. At the same time, its roots can rot if it is overwatered or kept in a poorly ventilated setting. Long-tail spleenwort is best suited to people with some cultivation experience, since most growers can keep it alive for a while. Still, it may struggle to prosper and its leaves can dry out and become less healthy over time.
