Care & maintenance

Japanese Holly Fern is remarkably easy to care for. Plant in well-draining, organically rich soil. Provide consistent moisture, especially during dry periods, but avoid soggy conditions. No significant pruning is required; simply remove any old or damaged fronds in late winter or early spring to encourage fresh growth. Fertilize lightly in spring with a balanced slow-release fertilizer if desired.
