For a while this page will be under constant revision. Eventually, this will be expanded to include specific care information for specific types of ferns. If you have information, know of a source of information regarding fern care, or would like to suggest additions or corrections to what is presented here, please contact Fern Central . Introduction Ferns come from all over the world and grow in all conditions.
Ferns grow in rainforests and freezing tundra and broiling deserts.
Yet, there are some general rules that work for most ferns we can easily get at a local nursery. Most ferns like a humid shaded environment. Lots of filtered sunlight or early morning and late afternoon direct light will produce a strong and colorful plant. Dry atmosphere and dry heat will make the delicate fronds wither and die. Good drainage must also be provided or the plant may drown.
