The flat round frond is the basal frond and is wired onto the slab. A mixture of peat moss, oak leaves and chopped sphagnum moss is put between the basal frond and the wood slab. Keep the plant moderately moist. Little fertilizer is needed but once a year place fresh potting mixture between the slab and the basal frond. Ideal temperatures are between 60 degrees and 80 degrees.
Propagation is by plantlets produced at the base of the plant.
