Basic Care Guide
Transplant

Pruning
Early spring, Late winter
A lush, tropical fern, cyclopeltis crenata thrives with minimal pruning, done to remove dead fronds and maintain its shape. Key pruning techniques involve sterilized, sharp scissors or shears to snip close to the base, avoiding healthy growth. Ideal pruning occurs in late winter or early spring before the onset of new growth. Regular pruning benefits cyclopeltis crenata by encouraging rejuvenation, deterring pests, and promoting a denser foliage display.
