Light & Water

Ferns typically thrive in medium to low indirect light, mimicking the forest floor. Keep their soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged. They don't like to dry out completely. Crispy, brown fronds are a sign of underwatering.

Humidity is Key

Ferns love humidity. A bathroom with a shower is often a perfect spot. Otherwise, mist them regularly, use a pebble tray, or place a humidifier nearby to keep them happy.
