The Pteris quadriaurita ‘Tricolor’, also known as the Tricolor Fern or Three Colour Brake Fern, is prized for its variegated fronds that show shades of pink, red/bronze, and green. It’s an easy-to-care-for fern when its need for consistent moisture and high humidity is met.
Here is a comprehensive care guide for the Pteris Quadriaurita Tricolor Or Tricolor Fern :
1. Light
- Bright, Indirect Light is Ideal: This is the best condition for vibrant growth. Place it near a north or east-facing window, or set it back from a brighter window (like south or west-facing) where it receives filtered light.
- Low Light Tolerance: It can tolerate lower light conditions, which makes it suitable for many indoor spaces, but growth may slow down.
- Avoid Direct Sun: Strong, direct sunlight will scorch its delicate fronds and cause them to turn brown or crisp.
2. Watering
- Keep Soil Consistently Moist: The Tricolor Fern dislikes drying out completely. Water it regularly to keep the soil consistently moist, but not soggy or waterlogged.
- Check the Soil: Water when the top inch of the soil feels only slightly dry to the touch.
- Drainage is Key: Always use a pot with drainage holes, and empty any excess water from the saucer to prevent root rot.
- Seasonal Adjustment: Reduce watering slightly during the cooler, dormant winter months.
3. Humidity
- Prefers High Humidity: This is the most crucial factor for a healthy fern, as low humidity will cause the frond tips and edges to turn brown and crispy.
- Ways to Increase Humidity:
- Terrariums: It is an excellent choice for closed terrariums, which naturally maintain high humidity.
- Pebble Tray: Place the pot on a saucer filled with pebbles and water (ensure the pot’s base does not sit in the water).
- Humidifier: Use a room humidifier, especially during dry winter months.
- Location: Bathrooms or kitchens often have naturally higher humidity.
- Misting is often suggested but only provides a very short-term boost; it is not a substitute for the methods above.
4. Temperature
- Warm and Stable: It prefers average room temperatures between and ( and ).
- Avoid Cold: Protect it from cold drafts, air conditioning vents, and heat sources that can dry out the air.
5. Soil and Potting
- Soil: Use a well-draining, rich, and slightly acidic potting mix. A good quality indoor potting mix amended with peat moss, perlite, or orchid bark is suitable.
- Repotting: Repot every couple of years or when it becomes root-bound, usually in the spring.
6. Fertilizing
- Feed During Growing Season: Fertilize once a month during the growing season (spring and summer).
- Diluted Fertilizer: Use a balanced, water-soluble houseplant fertilizer diluted to half or quarter strength of the recommended dosage.
- Dormancy: Stop fertilizing in the fall and winter.
7. Pruning
- Minimal pruning is required. Simply remove any dead, yellowing, or damaged fronds as needed to maintain a tidy appearance and encourage new growth.
8. Pet Friendliness
- The Tricolor Fern is generally considered a pet-friendly houseplant.
