Care Guide
💧 Water
☀️ Light Full shade
Marsilea strigosa is native to habitats such as forest understories and rocky areas that provide natural shade. Its preferred light condition is Full Shade, although it can tolerate Partial Sun.
Ideal: Full shade
🌡️ Temperature 15–35°C
Marsilea strigosa comes from tropical areas, where the climate is generally warm and humid. As a result, it is well suited to high temperatures and humidity. It does not tolerate sudden temperature changes and prefers a stable temperature environment, so avoiding temperature fluctuations indoors is important. It typically cannot withstand cold temperatures and needs warmer conditions to grow. If the ambient temperature falls too low, the plant may stop growing or even die.
