Bright, indirect in the home (north or east facing windowsill is good)
	Keep evenly moist but not wet at all times
	60°- 70°F is best, minimum for most is about 50°F, avoid temperatures above 80°F
	Varies depending on species
	USDA Zone. Ferns like to be kept in a humid environment, especially the more delicate leaved varieties, such as Maidenhair Ferns. Remove dead or damaged fronds so new ones have room to grow.
We grow varieties and types of ferns that can tolerate different conditions. These care tips are for typical conditions for most ferns placed in the home. Place ferns in bright, indirect light for best success. A room without natural light will not allow a fern to thrive for very long. Ferns also need humidity to live. Most home environments lack the humidity necessary for good fern growth, especially in the winter while the home is being artificially heated. Increase the humidity directly around ferns for best success. Ferns like to be kept evenly moist all the time. They do not like to be kept dry nor do they like to be kept saturated with water. Too much water may kill the roots. In summer, check the plants daily for water as heat and low humidity in the home causes the fern to use lots of water. Mist ferns as often as possible. Spider mites, aphids or mealy bugs may be found on ferns in the home environment. Healthy plants are less susceptible to them than weak plants suffering from under or over watering, being pot bound, or lacking soil nutrients. Prevent them from being a problem by keeping the humidity high and misting the plants frequently. Be careful when applying pesticides as they may burn, especially maidenhair varieties. Transplant ferns when the roots become pot bound. Ferns will do fine in porous (terra cotta) or non-porous (plastic) containers, although the roots will probably increase faster in porous pots.
