How to Care for the Plant
Water
Water especially the first weeks, every other day. Then the first summer in case of drought water them twice a week. In pots, water weekly when you notice that the substrate is dry and shrinks. If it still seems very wet on contact, wait a little bit more between the watering.
Pruning
Remove the damaged leaves at the end of winter.
Sunlight
They support all exposures, but they may become a little dry in summer in full sun.
Soil
Asplenium trichomanes like a fresh and well-drained soil: they are rocky perennials
