Exposure & location

The Aglaomorpha Coronans appreciates partial shade with bright indirect light. Avoid direct sun which burns its delicate fronds.

• Exposure: Partial shade, bright indirect light, tolerates low light.
• Ideal : bathroom, office, bedroom, living room or bright room without direct sun.
• Temperature : 18 to 25 °C, without sudden variations.
• Substrate : light, airy and well-drained, potting soil for epiphytic ferns or orchids with bark.

Verdeia tip: epiphytic ferns love humidity — the bathroom is the ideal location.

Watering & care

• Watering: moderate; let the substrate surface dry slightly between waterings.
• Frequency: about once a week in spring-summer, reduce in winter.
• Drainage: essential — use a pot with drainage holes and very draining substrate.
• Humidity: prefers 60-70% humidity, mist regularly or place near a humidifier.
• Fertilizer: once a month in spring-summer with a liquid fertilizer for green plants diluted by half.
• Cleaning: gently remove dead or yellowing fronds at the base.

Never cover the hairy rhizomes — they must remain on the substrate surface to breathe.
