Microgramma Heterophylla

Microgramma heterophylla is commonly known as the Heterophyllum fern or Moss fern. The name "heterophylla" originates from the Greek words meaning "different leaves," reflecting the plant's unique leaf structure, which varies in shape.

Care instructions for Microgramma heterophylla include:

1. Light: Prefers indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.

2. Water: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry.

3. Humidity: Enjoys high humidity levels. Regular misting or placing the pot on a humidity tray can help maintain moisture.

4. Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 65°F to 75°F (18°C to 24°C). Protect from cold drafts.

5. Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix, ideally formulated for ferns.

6. Fertilization: Apply a diluted liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).

7. Repotting: Repot every couple of years or when the plant outgrows its pot, preferably in spring.

By following these care guidelines, you can maintain a healthy and thriving Microgramma heterophylla.
