Fertilizing:
Arching Japanese Holly Fern needs little fertilizer, but benefits from a single springtime or fall topdressing (about 1 inch deep) of organic compost or well rotted leaves. Alternatively, a springtime application of a slow release fertilizer with a 3-1-2 ratio (such as a 15-5-10) can be applied at a rate of about 10 pounds per 1000 square feet.

Arching Japanese Holly Fern is evergreen and does not require pruning. It is normally only pruned for the purpose of keeping it within bounds.
