Fern - (Nephrolepis exaltata)

Description

The fern is a green plant that can be kept in the garden, as well as in the house to give life and create unique decorative compositions. Although the fern does not give us flowering, it has an excellent ornamental value thanks to its impressive long leaves.

Care

The fern is a tropical plant and grows best in a warm and humid environment. Outdoors, choose semi-shady and shady places that are not exposed to the intense midday summer sun. To plant potted fern on our balcony, choose spots with east or west exposure. If we still want to place it indoors, we choose a bright area where the sun's rays do not strike directly.

Watering

The fern needs frequent watering, as it needs a lot of soil moisture. It is important to water it with good quality, low-salt water. In summer it is necessary to water it every two days, and in hot weather it is advisable to water the foliage during the evening hours to prevent the foliage from drying out.

Temperature

The fern is sensitive to both very low temperatures and very high temperatures, as well as to sudden changes in temperature. As it is sensitive to very cold and hot currents, it is important to provide it with a sheltered position.

Transplanting

The fern has no special requirements regarding the soil and the soil in which it is planted, as long as it has good drainage.

Tips

Fern belongs to the plants that clean the air in the house, as they filter the atmosphere from toxic substances, giving us a clean environment to breathe.
