Ferns as houseplants

11 years ago

Hi, didn't see a fern forum so am posting here. I like ferns and have recently moved to an area where there are many varieties available in the local nursery. I want to grow them as houseplants but understand that is tricky. Is there a way to do this without putting each one in a terrarium to provide enough humidty? I'm interested in the Silver Lace Fern, and there are others.

A lot depends on your country & location and the weather conditions also where you want to place them in your home.

I live in the US near Atlanta. I would put them in a room with a bright east window but probably not close to the window, it's pretty bright.

If that is a morning sunlight all OK if its a hot afternoon sun a big NONO

The Bathroom(shower & bath area) is excellent for them.
