Why is my maidenhair fern going brown?
Why are my maidenhair fern leaves turning brown? The most common cause of brown leaves in ferns is low humidity. This means the air around the plant is too dry.
Do maidenhair ferns need sun?
Where to Grow. From temperature, to water, to sunlight, maidenhair ferns are divas in every way. Direct sun will lead to scorching, but too little light will cause poor growth and yellowing fronds. If possible, place in a location that gets indirect morning or afternoon sun, such as a northern window, with no drafts.
How often should I mist my maidenhair fern?
When growing maidenhair fern indoors, the plant prefers small containers and dislikes repotting. Maidenhair is also intolerant of low humidity or dry air from heating or cooling vents when grown in the home. Therefore, you will either need to mist the plant daily or set it on a water-filled pebble tray.
Can you plant maidenhair fern outside?
Maidenhair ferns grow very well in pots with a typical soilless potting mix providing the ideal growing medium. This arrangement allows them to be grown outdoors on a patio or deck for the warm months and then brought indoors for winter.
Should you mist a maidenhair fern?
This fern requires very warm, humid air. To mimic its ideal conditions, mist the plant with warm water a couple of times a day in order to maintain the proper moisture levels on its delicate leaves.
