📏 Size: The 'Emina' Fern typically grows to a height of 12 to 24 inches (30 to 60 cm) and a spread of 18 to 36 inches (45 to 90 cm), although size may vary depending on growing conditions and care.
☀️ Light: Place the 'Emina' Fern in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the delicate fronds. A north- or east-facing window is ideal, where the plant can receive filtered sunlight or artificial light.
💧 Water: Keep the soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged. Water the 'Emina' Fern whenever the top inch (2.5 cm) of soil feels dry to the touch. Use room temperature water and avoid allowing the plant to sit in standing water, as this can lead to root rot.

🌡️ Temperature: The 'Emina' Fern prefers temperatures between 60°F to 75°F (15°C to 24°C). Protect it from drafts and sudden temperature fluctuations, as these can stress the plant.
🌱 Soil: Plant the 'Emina' Fern in a well-draining potting mix rich in organic matter, such as peat moss or compost. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.
🌱 Fertilizing: Feed the 'Emina' Fern with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half the recommended strength once a month during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce fertilization frequency in the fall and winter.
🔄 Pruning: Remove any yellowing or dead fronds as needed to maintain the plant's appearance and overall health. Trim back any brown tips with sharp, clean scissors.
🌱 Propagation: Propagate the 'Emina' Fern by division. Carefully separate the rhizomes (root-like structures) and plant them in separate pots filled with fresh potting mix. Keep the soil consistently moist until new growth emerges.
