Ferns are perfect for indoor spaces with low or indirect light. They don’t need direct sunlight, are ideal for rooms with limited natural light

Ferns are natural air purifiers, absorbing toxins and improving indoor air quality by filtering out harmful substances

Ferns love humidity, so place them in bathrooms or kitchens where moisture levels are higher, or mist them regularly

Keep the soil of your fern evenly moist but not waterlogged. Ferns prefer damp soil, but overwatering can lead to root rot

Dust can accumulate on fern leaves, preventing them from absorbing light. Gently wipe the leaves with a damp cloth

Ferns thrive in soil that drains well but retains enough moisture. Use a light, peat-based mix to ensure that your fern’s roots stay hydrated

Keep it away from cold drafts or extreme temperature fluctuations. They prefer temperatures between 60°F and 75°F

Feed your fern with a balanced liquid fertiliser once a month during the growing season (spring and summer) for healthy growth

Remove any yellow or brown leaves regularly to keep the fern looking tidy and healthy. Pruning also encourages new growth
