Plumed rockcap fern typically has good resistance to disease and faces relatively few insect pests. Its care is considered difficult, as it requires a moist environment and frequent watering. However, its roots are prone to rotting if overwatered and kept in poorly ventilated conditions. Plumed rockcap fern is suitable for people with some growing experience, since most people are able to keep it alive for a certain amount of time. Nevertheless, it may have trouble thriving, and its leaves can dry out and become less healthy over time.
How to keep Pecluma Plumula.
Light
The plumed rockcap fern is native to naturally shaded environments such as forest understories or rocky regions. While its optimal sun exposure is full shade, it can also withstand partial sunlight.
Temperature
The plumed rockcap fern comes from regions with a tropical climate, typically characterized by warmth and high humidity. As such, it thrives in high heat and moist conditions. This plant is not a fan of sharp temperature changes and favors a constant temperature surrounding, hence, it's crucial to prevent any abrupt variations in indoor temperatures. It generally can't withstand cold temperatures and needs warmer conditions to grow. If the temperatures get excessively low, the plant's growth may halt, or it might even perish.
