Features of growing dawllia marieza
The plant is able to develop favorably in the light regime of partial shade, while full shade is also acceptable. In summer, the plant will require fairly abundant watering. In this case, the air humidity should be high. The life form of Davallia marieza is a herbaceous plant. As for the use of this plant, it is recommended to grow Davallia marieza both in winter gardens and in display windows, as well as in florariums.

However, replanting may also be necessary when the pot is filled with plants. When replanting, it is very important to handle the root system carefully; under no circumstances should you allow even the slightest damage to the roots.
Davallia marieza will require the following composition of the soil mixture: roots of fern and sphagnum in a ratio of two to one, charcoal will need to be added to this mixture. It should be noted that it is quite possible to replace the fern roots and use instead small pieces of pine bark or any other loose mixtures intended for epiphytes. The acidity of such soil can be either acidic or slightly acidic. The tips and roots of the leaves may dry out if the plant’s growing conditions are unfavorable. Such undesirable growing conditions include improper watering of the plant or dry air. It is noteworthy that Davallia marieza can also be affected by scale insects.

It is noteworthy that when growing Davallia marieza indoors, the dormant period will be forced and will last from October to February. This period of rest occurs due to the fact that there is reduced illumination and low air humidity.
