Pteris Cretica ‘Mayii’ (Silver Ribbon Fern)

This plant thrives in bright indirect light, which means it needs a well-lit space without harsh direct sunlight. Ideal locations include east or north-facing windows, or spots near south or west-facing windows with filtered light through a sheer curtain to protect its foliage.

Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry. Avoid overwatering & ensure pots have drainage holes. Frequency may vary with season and light, roughly once every 5–10 days.

30–40% Coco Coir/Peat Moss: Maintains consistent moisture without becoming soggy.
20–30% Perlite/Pumice: Improves aeration and prevents waterlogging.
20–30% Leaf Compost/Orchid Bark (fine): Mimics forest floor conditions and adds organic matter.
10–20% Vermicompost: Provides slow-release nutrients to support lush foliage.
Optional: A handful of horticultural charcoal to keep the mix fresh and prevent fungal issues.
