Eyelash Fern
Eyelash ferns thrive with consistent moisture, high humidity, and indirect light. They need well-draining soil and prefer to be kept moist but not soggy. Bright, indirect light is best, and they benefit from regular misting to maintain humidity.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:

Light: Eyelash ferns prefer bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch their leaves. A spot near a window with a sheer curtain or a north-facing window is often ideal.

Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top inch or two of soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Water thoroughly until excess drains from the bottom of the pot. Consider using a pebble tray or a humidifier to increase humidity, especially in dry indoor environments.

Humidity: Eyelash ferns love high humidity. Regular misting, grouping plants together, or using a humidifier can help create a suitable environment.
Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix, such as one formulated for ferns. Adding materials like Coco Coir can help retain moisture.
Fertilizing: Fertilize during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer, diluted to half strength. Reduce or stop fertilizing in the fall and winter.
Repotting: Repot when the roots have filled the pot, typically every 2-3 years. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the previous one.
Pruning: Prune away any dead or yellowing fronds to encourage new growth and maintain the plant's appearance.
Toxicity: Eyelash ferns are toxic to pets, so keep them out of reach of cats and dogs.
Other tips:
Eyelash ferns are relatively slow-growing and well-suited for terrariums.
They can be propagated by division during repotting.
Monitor your plant regularly for signs of pests or diseases.
