watering
Pale Moonworts should be watered moderately and infrequently. During the growing season from April to August, water the plant every 2-3 weeks with 1-2 inches (2.5-5 cm) of water. During the rest of the year, the soil should be kept fairly dry, watering the plants only when the soil is completely dry. Overwatering is not recommended, as it can damage the delicate plant roots.
sunlight
Pale Moonwort prefers shaded areas and its ideal environment should provide dappled or filtered sunlight throughout the day. When planted in garden beds or pots, Pale Moonwort should not be exposed to direct sunlight during the hottest part of the day. Sunlight should be limited to around 4-6 hours per day. Additionally, Pale Moonwort does not require direct sunlight. Therefore, it is best to provide partial shade for this species using a sheer curtain or sunhat on a hot afternoon.
