Details
Water them fairly often to maintain good moisture in the potting medium, but keep the roots above the standing water in the saucer or terrarium.
Frosty Ferns need moist, but well-drained soil. This plant is also suitable to be set up in a terrerium.
When a Frosty fern becomes crowded, it can be divided, and each plant repotted. To multiple plants, simply remove a portion of the stem and place the cut end in a container of moist potting medium, water it, and seal within a plastic bag for rooting in about a week.
