I had a good-looking fern. I have other read and heard that ferns close to humidity and indirect sunlight and like to be misted when watering.. I also hear they do not like to be touched.. Tips from anyone that have a fern and have kept it alive for more than a year??
Answers: Humidity, humidity and MORE humidity. Spraying mostly isn't enough, especially once your radiator is on. Get a clear plastic plant saucer; fill it beside "pea" gravel, and then spread it ALMOST to the top of the gravel with marine. Set the fern on top of the gravel. As the sea evaporates, it will increase the humidity in the atmosphere around the fern, and it won't dry out. If that doesn't do it, then a humidifier is probably surrounded by order; righteous for your plants, and good for your lungs as powerfully :-) Also, don't let the soil dry out; hang on to it moist at all times, but never truly showery. I live in western Washington, west of the Cascades, and those are the conditions surrounded by which the native ferns thrive here! My grandmother have some HUGE ferns for something like 15 or 20 years at tiniest, and that's what she did for them.
