As a whole, ferns do not like direct sun, especially in the heat of the afternoon. On the other hand, they do need good light in order to grow well. All ferns will thrive in a quality, peat-based potting soil such as Exceloam, even though in nature, some varieties are epiphytes, growing on other plants instead of in the soil. They all like to be kept moist and they all resent being kept too wet. In the winter, they can be kept a little drier.
Ferns enjoy high humidity and like to be either misted daily or kept on a humidity tray.
Whenever providing water or humidity, try to use room temperature water. Tap and well water around our area tends to be rather alkaline and ferns like it neutral to slightly acid. When possible, use distilled water. Ferns do well in average indoor temperatures and can tolerate even warmer temperatures if the air is humid. Ferns aren't often bothered by insects, which is fortunate since they are sensitive to most insecticides.
