Light & location
Nephrolepis ‘Macho’ prefers soft to medium light and is sensitive to direct sunlight. It thrives in bright rooms without harsh exposure.

Verdeia tip: if the air is dry, place a bowl of water nearby or mist its fronds regularly to maintain their suppleness.
Watering & care
- Watering: regular but light — the substrate should remain slightly moist without being soggy.
- Frequency: about twice a week in summer, once a week in winter.
- Humidity: essential for its well-being — mist the fronds 2 to 3 times a week.
- Care: remove dry leaves at the base to encourage regrowth.
- Level: easy to moderate — it requires some consistency in watering.
In summer, regular watering and soft light ensure dense and vibrant foliage 🌿

Verdeia tips
- Repotting: every 1 to 2 years, in spring, into a wider pot.
- Substrate: light and draining potting soil for green plants, enriched with coconut fiber or peat.

Our Verdeia commitments
FAQ – Everything to know before adopting your Verdeia plant
How are my plants prepared before shipping?
All our plants are selected from our European partner nurseries. Before shipping, they are watered, cleaned, and protected with breathable, secure packaging. Each package is designed to ensure your plant arrives in perfect health, without any transport-related stress.
Will the plant look exactly like the photo?
The photos accurately represent the variety and the stated size. Since each plant is unique, slight differences in shape, foliage, or color may occur — and that’s part of their charm.
What are the delivery times and conditions?
Shipping is done within 48 business hours, with tracked delivery within 2 to 5 business days. Delivery costs €5.60 — free for orders over €50. You will receive a tracking link as soon as the package is shipped.
What to do upon receiving my plant?
Open your package as soon as you receive it and carefully remove the plant from its packaging. Let it acclimate for 24 hours in its new environment before watering. If it has been slightly stressed during transport, it will recover its shape after one or two days in the light.
What to do if my plant arrives damaged?
Contact us within 48 hours with a photo of the issue. Our team will assess the situation and offer you the best solution: replacement, partial refund, or recovery advice.
Can I return a plant?
Since plants are living beings, standard returns are not possible. However, we guarantee good health upon delivery: if the plant arrives damaged, it will be replaced free of charge. For any other cases (order error, decorative pot, accessory), returns are possible within 14 days.
