Blechnum Gibbum

Advice

• Light: Prefer bright indirect light or semi-shade. Avoid direct sun exposure, especially during the hottest hours of the day.
• Watering: Keep the substrate evenly moist, but not soggy. Water regularly to maintain ideal conditions.
• Humidity: Requires high humidity levels. Mist the leaves regularly or place the plant in a dish of pebbles and water to increase humidity.
• Soil: Use a well-drained substrate rich in organic matter.
• Fertilise: Apply a diluted balanced fertiliser monthly during spring and summer to promote healthy growth.
• Pruning: Cut back dead or damaged leaves to keep the plant clean and encourage vigorous new growth.

Signs of weakness

• Leaf wilting: May indicate lack of water or exposure to intense direct sunlight.
• Dry or brown leaf tips: May be the result of an overly dry environment or lack of moisture.
• Leaf discolouration: May indicate problems with the soil, such as nutrient deficiencies or over-fertilisation.
