A few simple tips go a long way:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Light<\/strong>: Place the plant in a spot with plenty of daylight, but avoid direct sunlight. Partial shade is ideal.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Water<\/strong>: Keep the soil lightly moist. It\u2019s better to water a little more often with small amounts than to overwater in one go.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Humidity<\/strong>: The Curly fern thrives in humid air\u2014just like its natural tropical habitat. Mist it now and then to make it feel right at home.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Nutrition<\/strong>: During the growing season (spring and summer), you can feed the plant once a month with diluted liquid fertilizer\u2014preferably one made for green houseplants. No need to fertilize in autumn and winter.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Pruning<\/strong>: Yellowed or dried-out fronds can be trimmed off at the base. This keeps the plant fresh and encourages new growth. If the plant gets too large, you can also trim it back slightly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is the Nephrolepis (Curly fern) toxic?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Good news for pet owners and parents: the Nephrolepis is <strong>non-toxic<\/strong>. So no need to worry if your cat or dog takes a curious nibble. Still, it\u2019s wise to keep all plants out of reach of persistent chewers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:32%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/airsopure.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/AirSoPure_Nephrolepis_Kas_plant-van-de-maand_mei-2025-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"Air So Pure Nephrolepis \u2013 Plant of the Month May 2025\" class=\"wp-image-5706\" srcset=\"https:\/\/airsopure.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/AirSoPure_Nephrolepis_Kas_plant-van-de-maand_mei-2025-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/airsopure.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/AirSoPure_Nephrolepis_Kas_plant-van-de-maand_mei-2025-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/airsopure.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/AirSoPure_Nephrolepis_Kas_plant-van-de-maand_mei-2025-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/airsopure.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/AirSoPure_Nephrolepis_Kas_plant-van-de-maand_mei-2025-1536x1024.webp 1536w, https:\/\/airsopure.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/AirSoPure_Nephrolepis_Kas_plant-van-de-maand_mei-2025-2048x1365.webp 2048w, https:\/\/airsopure.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/AirSoPure_Nephrolepis_Kas_plant-van-de-maand_mei-2025-18x12.webp 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:68%\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nephrolepis growers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The beautiful Nephrolepis is lovingly grown by our proud members&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/airsopure.nl\/en\/over-ons\/vde-plant\/\"><strong>VDE Plant<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/airsopure.nl\/en\/over-ons\/raadschelders-varens\/\"><strong>Raadschelders Varens<\/strong><\/a>.
