Ferns

Mist, shade, and the feathery fronds that need both.

The feathery ones

Ferns are ancient and fussy — they want shade and constant gentle moisture, both in the soil and the air.

Care card

light   shade to low indirect
water   keep soil evenly moist
humidity mist daily
soil    peat-rich, never dry out

Watch for

Crispy fronds mean the air is dry. A fern that drops leaves got too much sun.
