Finding light for Golden Zebra Fern in your home

Golden Zebra Fern may have difficulty thriving, and will drop leaves 🍃, without ample sunlight.
Place it less than 3 feet from a south-facing window to maximize the potential for growth.

How to fertilize Golden Zebra Fern
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Golden Zebra Fern after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Tips and sides of some leaves are brown. I moved her from a terra cotta planter to a plastic one with hopes of correcting. She sits 8 inches to the left of an east facing window. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks #GoldenZebraFern

Did I water it too much? I watered it right after I potted it and it got the brown lines like a day or so afterwards. I had probably watered it a day or so before when it was still just in a little plug of dirt. Not sure what happened #PlantAddict #GoldenZebraFern #brownspots #helpneeded

Brown Leaf Edges I have a Bamboo Zebra Fern, and I have been watering it regularly. I make sure to keep the soil moist, it gets bright indirect light from a Northern-facing window, which it is about 5 feet from. I am noticing lots of the leaves are starting to look brown around the edges, what’s causing this and how can I fix it?! #brownspots

Please confirm I have the correct plant type it said it was a golden zebra bamboo when I bought it. #HappyPlants #GoldenZebraFern #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #GregGang #identify

I have 2 of these (one was a gift) and I find they are difficult. One of them was in direct sun. Big mistake. Burned to a crisp. I had to trim it back and it’s just now started to come back a couple of months later. I use filtered water as they won’t tolerate tap at all, the leaves are prone to crispy ends. With lots of pruning and determination I’m just about keeping them alive. They are definitely survivors, don’t give up!
