How do ferns grow best?
Most ferns grow best in full or dappled shade. Adequate shade will produce lush, dark green foliage. We recommend 65% to 75% shade, depending on your location. (Less may be needed in the winter when the days are shorter.)
How can I make my ferns grow bigger?
Repot the ferns into large planters or hanging baskets.
I take them out and plant them in large, coconut lined hanging planters. These are the ones we buy. I like to use big ones because it provides room to grow and spreads out the fronds to give a grander appearance.
How fast do ferns grow?
Depending on the kind of fern, it may take two to six months after fertilization for the first fronds to appear. Usually, gardeners and greenhouse producers don't reproduce indoor ferns from spores. Most indoor ferns are separated into several pieces by root division.
How often should ferns be watered?
Most ferns like an evenly moist soil with regular waterings. Allowing the soil to dry out between waterings stresses these plants.
Do ferns need sunlight?
Ferns Need Plenty of Indirect Light
Most ferns prefer indirect light, which means you should avoid placing them where sunlight will hit them—their leaves can get scorched if you do, resulting in a dry, crispy plant.
Do ferns grow back if you cut them?
Cut back to the base if desired.
If you are not liking the look of your plant at all, you can cut it down to just above the crown, much as you do with an outdoor fern. Use sharp, clean scissors to cut off the fronds. The fern will grow back from the crown, if you let it remain.
How do I keep my ferns pretty?
Ferns prefer bright, indirect light. A few hours of morning sun or gently filtered light through the cover of trees is the perfect scenario. If you have full sun on your front porch, check to see if your side or back porch would provide a less harsh environment for your plants.
How do I keep my fern happy?
Mist your ferns as often as practical, preferably in the morning. Keep a spray bottle handy and train your family members to use it whenever they pass by the fern. Stand the pot on a tray of pebbles or clay granules and keep those wet. This increases the humidity around the plant without keeping the roots soggy.
Is Epsom salt good for ferns?
Ferns – Epsom salts work wonders on ferns as a liquid fertilizer helping the leaves have a rich, deep dark green color. Elephant ear plants are another plant which benefits from the extra magnesium. Apply as a drench mixing 1 tablespoon of Epsom salts to 1 gallon of water.
Do ferns like coffee grounds?
In most cases, the grounds are too acidic to be used directly on soil, even for acid-loving plants like blueberries, azaleas and hollies. Coffee grounds inhibit the growth of some plants, including geranium, asparagus fern, Chinese mustard and Italian ryegrass.
Do ferns multiply?
Ferns can multiply naturally via two mechanisms, vegetative and sexual. Vegetative reproduction occurs by producing new plantlets along underground runners, or rhizomes. Sexual reproduction occurs via the production of spores, which lead to the production tiny plants that make both eggs and sperm.
Do ferns come back every year?
Ferns are perennial plants, those that live for many years. Annual plants are the ones you have to replant every year.
