Parathelypteris, a genus of ferns, have low to moderate care needs. They typically require indirect to low light, moderately moist soil, and a temperate climate. Adaptable to a wide range of soil types, they prefer organic, well-draining soil. Common challenges include fern pests like aphids and mites, invasive growth tendencies, and sensitivity to overly dry or cold conditions. Seasonal care involves protecting parathelypteris from harsh winter climates and ensuring soil remains consistently moist, particularly in dry summer months.
