Symptoms

Asian sword fern thrives in warmth and cannot withstand cold. It grows optimally when temperatures exceed 65℉. In winter, maintain temperatures above 60℉. Below 50℉, foliage may lose color. Post-frost, leaves progressively turn brown or black, exhibiting wilting and drooping.

Solutions

Remove frost-damaged sections. Promptly relocate indoors to a warm area for protection. Position the plant near a south-facing window for sufficient light. Avoid placing near heaters or AC vents to prevent air dryness.
