Growing ferns

Ferns grow at normal room temperature. In summer the air temperature in the room should not exceed 20-22C or 68-72F. In winter green ferns need cooler temperatures, 12-14C or 54-57F.

Nephrolepis fern needs regular moderate watering and prefers soft water. Feed these house plant with a half strength solution of a balanced 10-10-10 liquid house plant fertilizer once in every 4 weeks.

On hot days these indoor plants want to be sprayed with water at room temperature. Do it frequently, and do not place your fern near the sources of heat. If you notice dark dry leaves, the reason is the air in the room is too dry. Just spray indoor plants more often.

Ferns need to be re-potted into a slightly bigger pot every second year. You can damage ferns roots, but do not worry about it, just be careful and do your best. Put commercial indoor plant mix into the bottom of the pot, so that when you put the fern in, the soil level will be an inch below a pots rim.

Add more soil to the sides and water to move the soil down to the roots. Repeat until the pot is filled to avoid the air pockets around ferns roots. Trim broken stems and leaves off, and let indoor plants recover.

Plastic indoor plants containers retain moisture and protect ferns roots from the air moving to the roots and creating a drying effect. Ferns strive in humid conditions.
