Vandenboschia, a genus of ferns, requires a cool, humid environment with indirect, low light. The ideal soil is acidic, well-draining, and rich in organic matter. Common challenges include root rot caused by waterlogged soil, fungal and bacterial diseases, and sensitivity to extreme temperatures and direct sunlight. For optimal growth, seasonal adjustments include increased watering during dry spells in summer, protection during harsh winter temperatures, and regular soil health checks throughout the year.
