The leatherleaf ferns genus comprises robust ferns, requiring moderate to high light conditions, consistent watering and warm, humid environments. They thrive in well-draining, rich loamy soil, and generally maintain a steady growth in temperatures between 60°F and 75°F. Common challenges include scale insects, mealybugs, and susceptibility to root rot if overwatered. Seasonal changes may necessitate more frequent watering in summer and less in winter. They may benefit from additional humidity in dry winter months. Overall, these plants are relatively undemanding, making them a beginner-friendly option in fern genus.
