Polystichum ‘Korean Rock’ is known for its fascinating and distinctive fronds that give it a striking appearance. This fern is a small evergreen that has lanced shaped, leathery, blue-green fronds and unique black stems.

☀️This fern requires bright indirect light, avoid any harsh light or positioning this plant too close to a window as scorching or leaf burn can occur.

💧Polystichum ‘Korean Rock’ like their soil to be kept evenly moist and it’s best not to let themcompletely dry out in between waterings as the leaves can start to droop. 

〰️These plants do require higher levels of humidity, leaf edges may dry and begin to brown if the ambient humidity is too low. You will generally start to see signs of this at the tips of the leaves. This isn't detrimental to the plant's health, but can look unsightly. You can increase humidity in your home by misting, grouping plants close together or sitting pot plants on a saucer filled with pebbles and water.

🌡️Like most popular houseplants, Polystichum prefer temperatures in the 18°C-30°C which is similar to their tropical native habitat.

🍴It’s best to feed regularly during the warmer months and reduce frequency in winter. Alternatively, use a controlled release fertiliser at the beginning of spring and autumn.

✂️Remove dying or browning leaves and stems as required. Otherwise, there is no need to prune. 

🪴As an epiphyte, Polystichum ‘Korean Rock’ prefers a well-draining potting mix. Using a mix of orchid bark, sphagnum moss, and perlite works well. Alternatively, this variety can be mounted on a piece of wood or bark which makes for a stunning statement piece.
