Position
Protection from draughts A spot indoors offers the shelter that maidenhair ferns need, but breezes and other airflow will dry and brown the foliage. If you see the fronds moving, or you need to open a window or turn on a fan nearby, move your plant. Plenty of light While these ferns like it bright, direct sunlight will burn their foliage, and too little light will lead to weak, leggy growth.

Humidity Maidenhair ferns need humidity to thrive. Many people choose to grow them in a bathroom to take advantage of the warm, moist air, but you can provide humidity in any room with regular misting of the leaves.

Moisture Maidenhair ferns must be kept moist. Even if the potting mix dries out for a day, the fern will drop its leaves. Give your pot regular dunks in a bucket of water to soak the mix, and consider planting the fern in a self-watering pot if you’re not good at the watering thing.

Fertiliser

Give your fern a fortnightly feed of liquid fertiliser to keep it happy.
