Ferns

  • Origin: Ancient damp forests worldwide — lush, feathery survivors that appreciate a little devotion.
  • Where I thrive: Bright, indirect light or a shady spot with consistent humidity; avoid direct sun.
  • Hydrate: Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged — water when the surface starts to feel slightly damp, usually weekly.
  • Other care instructions: High humidity and regular misting or a humidifier keep fronds happy; trim dead fronds.
