Tassel ferns thrive when placed in a shaded outdoor location that offers protection from harsh weather elements. As epiphytes/lithophytes, Tassel Ferns love a coarse potting mixture, typically composed of medium-coarse bark, perlite, and/or coir chips, although they may grow in other potting media with careful watering. Maintain consistent watering, ensuring proper drainage from the base of the pot. They prefer a shaded, protected positions outdoors or a well lit position indoors & ensure you protect them from direct sunlight.

It's important to note that Tassel ferns are sensitive to root disturbances, so refrain from repotting until they have significantly outgrown their current container.
