There’s a fern specific group but it doesn’t seem too active. Seems like ferns prefer indirect sunlight and while most plants you let the soil dry a little, ferns need moist soil and occasional spritz of water on the leaves. So not daily watering so the soil is always wet. Just don’t let her dry out.

I’ve had frustrating experiences with ferns but I think one key is to give them humidity. So putting them on a humidity tray would be one way to really make them feel at home.

0 likesMy friend gave me a cutting of this plant 2 years ago and it’s one of my favorites. I find that this one does require frequent watering, as do most ferns. The schedule that the app has it on works well for me. I have it in indirect light for most of the day and it seems to be doing great. I know ferns can be fussy but this one has been lower maintenance for me. It seems to be doing fine in the ambient humidity. I love that the leaves grow wildly in different directions. It’s a lot of fun. Good luck!
