Your crispy wave is at home everywhere in the house or office. It will thrive and clean the air in your living room, kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, or anywhere needing a breath of fresh air!
This amazing fern requires very little maintenance and will keep on growing indefinitely if you follow these simple care instructions.

Light

- No direct sunlight; your crispy wave prefers low light.

- If in a South or West facing window provide shade during those times of day when the sun is shining directly onto your Crispy Wave.

- Your Crispy Wave can be brought outside to the patio in the summer but keep it in a shaded area.

- Rotate your plant occasionally if it receives light from only one side so that it keeps a nice even shape.

Water

- Your crispy wave can be watered from above but make sure that there is good drainage at the bottom of the pot.

- The soil should be kept lightly moist (do not allow to dry completely) but do not overwater either! One to two waterings a week is the standard.

- As it grows and you re-pot it in a larger sized pot it will require more watering.

- If your home is on the dry side, spray/mist the leaves a couple of times a week, as the Crispy Wave likes a little humidity. If the air is too dry it can turn the leaves brown.
​
- Reduce the frequency of watering in the winter months (Nov-Dec-Jan-Feb) during the plant’s dormant period. Water about once a week during these months.

Soil

- We recommend re-potting your Crispy Wave, or just changing the soil, every 2 years for optimal health.
​
- When re-potting your Crispy Wave use any all purpose or tropical soil mixture with good drainage.
​
- Do not be surprised if the soil beneath your Crispy Wave is covered in roots; they are voracious growers.

- A Crispy Wave transplanted to a barrel sized, or very large, container can grow into a massive air-purifying bush given enough years.

Food

- Feed once a month with liquid all purpose fertilizer (20-20-20) diluted to half strength, except during the winter months (Nov-Dec-Jan-Feb) when they do not need fertilization.

- Only use liquid fertilizer; avoid pellets which could cause chemical burns to your Crispy Wave.

- Do not overfeed as this could burn the roots.

Temperature

- It is best to keep your Crispy Wave between 70 and 80 Fahrenheit (20-25 Celsius) and to avoid large fluctuations in temperature.

- Do not keep below 55F (13C) and avoid exposure to temperatures over 100F (35C).
