It’s getting hot – it’s time to bring the gardening inside! What better way to do that than with Ferns?

We know Ferns are finicky, but they’re worth the TLC. Below are 3 tips for caring for your Fern:

1. Keep the soil moist but not soggy
Ferns don’t like their soil to dry out, so staying on a consistent watering schedule is key. Also, plant in a pot with a drainage hole to prevent it from sitting in water.

2. Place in an area with high humidity
Most Ferns are native to rainforests, so placing your Fern in a bathroom with a window, by your kitchen sink, or on your shaded porch or patio is ideal.

3. Minimal light requirements
Ferns prefer bright indirect light. Placing near a north- or east-facing window will do. Keep out of direct sunlight to prevent burnt leaves.

If you follow these care tips, you are guaranteed to have a flourishing Fern in your home!

Anybody can sell you plants, we make sure you succeed.
