Care Guide for Nephrolepis ‘Murano’
Light requirements:
The Nephrolepis Murano grows best in bright, indirect light. Avoid harsh midday sun, which can scorch the fronds. A spot in partial shade or bright shade is ideal.
Watering:
Keep the soil lightly moist at all times. Never let the soil dry out completely, but avoid overwatering—roots should not sit in standing water. A well-draining pot is essential to prevent root rot.
Humidity:
As a tropical plant, the Nephrolepis loves high humidity. Mist regularly or place it in a bathroom with natural light to keep it happy.
Feeding:
During the growing season (spring and summer), feed monthly with a balanced houseplant fertilizer. No feeding is needed in autumn and winter.
Pruning & Maintenance:
Remove yellow or dried-out fronds to keep the plant looking fresh. This also encourages new, healthy growth.
