Care Ostrich fern
The Ostrich fern develops into a fern. Growing they develop a round-shape shrub. Ostrich fern isn't an evergreen; during the spring, summer, autumn, winter it assumes a green colouring; the adult species are medium in size and reach 1 m in height.

Temperatures Ostrich fernPosizione mezza ombra
For a balanced development of the the Ostrich fern , let's choose a partially shaded place, where it can enjoy direct sunlight only during the coolest hours of the day. The Ostrich fern is a plant which can be grown in the garden year round.Let's avoid exposing apartment plants to direct sunlight, which could damage the leaves, especially during the hottest months of the year. We should prefer a bright position, but with filtered light.

Irrigation Ostrich fernTenere bagnato
We should water regularly, wetting the substratum deep down. Let’s intervene every 0-1 weeks . Normally during this period these plants need 3-4 glasses of water . To avoid that a scarce drainage could favour the development of fungal diseases, let's remember to avoid leaving water in the saucer.

Adversity Ostrich fern
The spring weather, with a high temperature swing between the day and night hours, and pretty frequent rains, can favour the development of fungus diseases, which should be treated pre-emptively with a systemic fungicide, to use before the gems grow excessively; at the end of the winter we also suggest a wide range insecticide to prevent the attack of aphids and cochineals. We should always remember to do these treatments when there aren't flowerings in the garden.

Substrate Ostrich fern
These apartment plants need to be located in a balanced soil, which maintains humidity for long. Every 2-3 years let’s remember to repot the plants in a slightly larger container.
