Care Guide
💧 Water
☀️ Light Full shade
The lemon-scented fern comes from habitats such as forest understories or rocky locations that provide natural shade. It favors full shade but can withstand partial sun.
Ideal: Full shade
🌡️ Temperature 5–32.2°C
Lemon-scented fern grows best in forest thickets. It is very sensitive to temperature and humidity; high heat, dry conditions, and strong sunlight can all distress the plant. In summer it needs adequate shade and a moist, high-humidity environment. Generally it does not need special care in winter, but an extended winter drought can still be lethal.
Ideal temperature: 5–32.2°C
