Easily grown in humus-rich, well-drained soil. Best in a sheltered location; sun tolerant in cool sites, if soil is kept evenly moist. Adapts to semi-dry conditions better than many ferns, if grown in full shade. Feed regularly during growing season with a general purpose fertilizer. Cut back old fronds after new growth begins in spring.
