Growing & Maintenance Tips for Asplenium scolopendrium

To care for Asplenium scolopendrium, commonly known as the hart's tongue fern, ensure it is planted in well-draining soil and placed in a shaded or partially shaded area to mimic its natural habitat. Water it regularly to maintain humidity, but avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot.
