To care for a Crispy Wave Fern provide medium indirect light. The ideal temperature for the Crispy Wave Fern is 60 to 72°F (15-22°C).
Provide a high humidity level for the Crispy Wave Fern between 60 to 90 percent.
The soil needs to stay evenly moist at all times for a Crispy Wave Fern.
Feed using a liquid fertilizer with an NPK 24-8-16 once a month in spring and summer.
Reduce or refrain from fertilizing in Autumn and Winter the Crispy Wave Fern.
Use an organic mix using organic compost, pine bark, coarse sand, and/or perlite.

Came here from your website thank you for the great information regarding Hoyas! I got myself a few of them and no other website I could find was as comprehensive! Great work!
Thank you! Great to hear that :-)
Thank you for sharing good idea.
They can take any temperature because they grow on walls in the north of England they are indestructible 😊
Thank you for this video!
Is it normal for the new leaves of crispy leaf ferns to come in thin and straight up?
Ugh my hubby gifted me a beautiful little Japanese crispy wave a week and a half ago. I watered her 3x already but a few days ago unnoticed something white forming at base and soil extremely dry. So I watered again 2 days later feels bone dry but maybe it’s ok? So I misted heavy tonight. Then I notice the tip of one of leaves is turning yellow 😢 gosh I hope it’s not dying already! I’m going tommorow to buy new little pot, soil and fertilizer
Would keeping this plan in a bathroom be good ?
Thank you for this video, good info- but I’ve seen bird’s best is similar but different. But it is the other name you mentioned. Crispy wave.
Thanks for the video! I guess I screwed up watering the crown a few times and 3 or 4 of the leaves have a little bit of black right down near the centre of the crown as a result. Do you think they’ll be okay/is there anything to do other than to change how I water it?
As long as the crown is not mushy you will be ok. Just make sure to water the sides and not the top and allow for good air circulation. A black leaf here and there won't hurt the plant overall as long as it is not spreading.
@@Plantophiles thank you!
Hi there. Brilliant video. Could you dvise why the leaves starte to have a brown spots on them, especially those tat the edge of the pot (not the central ones). Can it be a low humidity level? Also, woud you recommend it spraying for increasing the humidity level? Thank you!
I dont suggest spraying as it can lead to fungus. Make sure your leaves dry quickly and do not touch anything (especially wet suefaces). Brown spots can have many different reasons. How are your conditions?
@@Plantophiles Thank you!
I just purchased a wave fern. There is what looks like dirt in the center nest, however there are new leaves growing. Should I do anything?
No sounds good. Just make sure the center/crown is not wet. It should look brown that is fine
Can you use a grow light, maybe at half brightness?
Yes of course. That is what I do. You save energy costs. You can just move it closer but not too close. This way you still have the same amount of light to the plants
So they’re epiphytes like orchids?
Yes, you can say so
@@Plantophiles thank you. I’ve put mine in the bathroom hoping humidity would help. One of them lost many “leaves” and is browning.
Well doesn't look like bacon😂...but useful info👍
Good information and I appreciate it, but one "subscribe" suggestion is enough; no one needs to hear "click, click, ding" four times.
