Care
Watering:
Arching Japanese Holly Fern is very drought tolerant and typically only needs watering during the hottest days of summer.
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.
Pruning:
Arching Japanese Holly Fern is evergreen and does not require pruning. It is normally only pruned for the purpose of keeping it within bounds.
