Cultivation 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.

Light Ostrich fernPosizione mezza ombra
It prefers partially shady locations, where it can be reached by the solar rays only during the coolest hours of the day. The Ostrich fern bears even very harsh temperatures, therefore it can be grown outdoors without feeling endangered by low temperatures.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.

Water Ostrich fernTenere bagnato
Water regularly, every The using about 3-4 glasses of water , watering the ground deeply and keeping it always slightly humid, but avoiding to soak it too much. To avoid that a scarce drainage could favour the development of fungal diseases, let's remember to avoid leaving water in the saucer.

Pests 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.

Mold 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.
