Nephrolepis Exaltata 'Tiger' Care Guide: Hardiness zone: 9–11 Light: Prefers bright, filtered indirect sunlight; prolonged exposure to intense direct light will scorch the foliage, while excessively bright light can cause the leaves to lose their variegation and turn solid gold or yellow. Watering: Moderate to high requirement; keep the growing medium consistently damp to the touch, but ensure proper drainage to prevent root rot. Temperature: Thrives in an optimal range of 60°F–80°F; must be protected from sudden temperature drops and cold drafts below 50°F. Humidity: Prefers high relative humidity levels (50% or above); highly benefits from regular misting, room humidifiers, or water-filled pebble trays. Soil: Loose, porous, and nutrient-rich substrate; a well-draining peat-moss based commercial potting mix combined with perlite is ideal. Fertilizer: Apply a balanced water-soluble houseplant fertilizer at half-strength once a month during the active growing season in spring and summer.
