Ferns need a lot of light and fresh air to grow well. They like to be in areas with plenty of sun but they can also grow in shaded locations. Ferns should never be submerged in water, as this will stunt their growth.
Adding a little compost to the potting mix will help improve drainage and encourage healthy plant growth. Ferns like well-draining soil, so be sure to choose a potting mix that is also suitable for ferns.
Ferns need light and warmth to grow, so they should be placed in a sunny spot or near the source of light.
Mulch is one of the most important things you can do for your fern. Organic matter (greens, bark, leaves, etc.) will help to keep the soil healthy and promote a thriving ecosystem, which in turn will help your fern grow healthy and strong.
Watering is important when it is not sunny and dry. Make sure to water the garden often enough so that the soil stays moist, but not so much that the plants start to get soggy.
If you want your plants to grow quickly and vigorously, give them a balanced feed regime. A good mix of vegetable, herb or fish feed can help to provide your plants with the nutrients they need to grow healthily. Regular fertilization will help to keep your plants flourishing.
