Ferns

  Q    
I have a ladder fern nephrolepsis what type of growing conditions does it require ?
       
  A    

The Boston fern nephrolepsis grows best in a warm, moist greenhouse.

 

It will grows quite satisfactorily indoors, providing it can be kept in a humid position.

 

One suggestion would be your bathroom.

 

It likes a light position but not be in full sunshine.

 

Apply light spray of water overhead daily.

 

Feed between March and September with a liquid fertilizer for good growth.
