# Have a friend with this southern sword fern, it’s watered but that’s…

Have a friend with this southern sword fern, it’s watered but that’s where the care stops. I cleaned it up after I took this picture, and she really wants to help it out a little. I really don’t think it has a disease or anything, I just think it needs a change in care. She basically just wants it more lush. I tried suggesting a few things she can do with it but she said doesn’t have enough time. Advice? Thanks! 😁

Honestly these are best as outdoor plants. They are cold hardy and love humidity

Ok, that’s good to know. Thanks! I’ll tell my friend

Yeah that plant needs more light. And they like to be moist but not soggy. So well draining and water 2 x week and extra humidity if indoors. But it’s lacking light for sure

Thank you so much, I was trying to tell her to put in in brighter lighting but she said she didn’t like the way it looked anywhere else. I’m gonna work on it a little more lol. I’m going to try really hard to find a spot she’ll like. I’ll also tell her about the humidity, I didn’t know that before! Thx again!
