Care
- Light Requirements: Plant the fern in a location that receives partial to full shade. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight, as it can scorch the delicate fronds.
- Soil: Provide well-drained soil with a rich organic content. The fern prefers slightly acidic to neutral soil pH levels.
- Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged. Regular watering is essential, especially during dry spells or periods of intense heat.
- Mulching: Apply a layer of organic mulch around the base of the fern to retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, and suppress weed growth.
- Fertilization: Feed your Jurassic Gold Fern with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer HICOTE 360 in early spring to promote healthy growth. Follow the instructions provided on the fertilizer packaging for application rates.
- Winter Protection: In colder regions, protect the fern during winter by mulching heavily around the base and covering it with a layer of straw or leaves.
