It is an oddly appealing look. Several commonly grown indoor ferns have a well-earned reputation for being finicky growers, but others are surprisingly easy. Ferns with tough, leathery foliage usually adapt better to typical household conditions than feathery, delicate types. The more delicate types of ferns will grow best where they can be given special care. A terrarium or a very humid area such as a bathroom will suit them well.
Most ferns prefer moderate, indirect light inside.
Close to a north-facing window is ideal. Never put ferns directly in a south or west-facing window. Direct sunlight will damage the foliage. The ideal temperature range for most ferns is between 60 and 70 F during the day. They like to be kept about 10 F cooler at night.
