THE fern is a tropical plant that grows in wet forests, but it can also be grown indoors, as it adapts to places with low light and does not require so much care.
How to care for fern?
Before you have a fern, plan a place for it to stay in your home. It is important, for example, that she receives Sun light, but not directly — near a window or on the porch are great options.
The fern is also sensitive to wind currents, which can break the sheets. It is best adapted when suspended and in a pot that keeps the substrate moist.
Watering must be constant whenever the substrate is more dry, however, we should not soak it. A valuable tip is always to place your finger on the substrate and feel if it is wet.

The fern may require fertilizers in order to receive all the necessary nutrients and thus look beautiful and healthy. You can find these fertilizers in garden houses, and the application should be made according to the plant's needs.
Fern generally needs annual pruning to stay strong and healthy. Prefer to pruning between May and July, however, old and dead leaves must be removed constantly.
Using all these tips to take care of your fern, you will have beautiful plants all year round!
