Birds Nest Fern Care

Tips for watering your ferns avoid watering from above, which can cause the moisture to splash onto the leaves of your ferns. instead, aim the water you give your ferns at the soil above their roots. it will trickle down into the root zone, where your ferns can absorb it and put it to use.

It is important to never remove more than a third of the foliage in any one year and to cut just above a node on the stem.

An organic, balanced, liquid fertilizer once a month during growth period is recommended.

Full sun to partial shade.

The ideal blend of soil for plant growth is called loam. Often referred to as topsoil or black dirt by landscape companies, loam is a mixture of sand, clay, and silt.

Room temperatures between 65-75ºF (18-24ºC) are ideal, and no lower than 55ºF (13ºC).

Choose a pot that is 2.5-5.08 cm (1-2”) larger than the current size.

All ferns love moisture and should be given humid conditions. In living rooms and family rooms, stand their pots on trays of damp pebbles or clay granules. Ferns also love being misted at regular intervals with tepid, soft water unless the humidity of the whole room is kept high through the use of a humidifier.
