Sharktooth Fern in

Light: Your Shark Tooth Fern will be happiest in bright, indirect sunlight. They’re found below the canopies of forests, so they’re more used to filtered sunlight. Keep them in an area that gets sunshine in the morning and indirect sunlight for the rest of the day. Direct sunlight is a big no for these guys. 

Water: Remember that your Shark Tooth Fern is actually a type of cactus, so they do not like to be over watered. You don’t want to let the soil dry out too much, so you should water once the topsoil has dried. When watering, make sure water comes from all drainage holes to ensure it’s getting to all the roots.

Climate: Shark Tooth Ferns are not cold hardy at all! They love temperatures above 55°F combined with average household humidity levels. They love a little added humidity, but they don’t require it!  

Pests & Diseases: Shark Tooth Ferns don’t typically attract pests or have many problems, but you should always be wary of fungus gnats, spider mites, scale, and aphids that may try to find a home on your plant. Whenever you water your plants, take an extra few minutes to check for pests and save yourself a lot of trouble later. 

Fertilizer: They enjoy a gentle fertilizer once a month during the growing season.
