How to care for fern


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.
