Fern cultivation methods and precautions

Fern cultivation methods and precautions

Ferns are relatively easy to grow. They originally grew luxuriantly in primeval forests. If we cultivate them ourselves, it is very suitable to be placed in a fish tank or in the courtyard. Ferns generally prefer a cool and humid environment, so we need to pay special attention to this.

How to grow ferns

1. Soil

Ferns are suitable for growing in soil that is very rich in humus and very loose, so it is best to use only leaf mold for growing them, or you can also add 1/3 peat soil.

2. Lighting

Ferns are shade-tolerant to a certain extent, so they can grow well in bright rooms, but if they are kept in a dark room for a long time, the leaves will turn yellow and fall off, so the plants in the shade should be taken out and exposed to the sun every 2 to 3 weeks.

3. Watering

Ferns like a humid growing environment, so they should be watered once a day during the growing season. Later on, it is best to spray them with water 2 to 3 times a day. In winter, wait until the soil in the pot is slightly dry before watering them thoroughly. This is beneficial to the photosynthesis of the plants and is also beneficial for viewing.

4. Temperature

Ferns are very afraid of cold. Normally, the minimum maintenance temperature cannot be lower than 2 degrees Celsius, otherwise they will be frostbitten. In addition, the optimal growth temperature of ferns is around 18-28 degrees Celsius. If the temperature is not enough or too high, you must find ways to adjust the temperature.

5. Flower Pots

The choice of flower pots for ferns should be based on actual conditions. If it is a relatively large plant, use a large pot, and if it is a small plant, use a small pot. It is best to choose a flower pot with bottom holes, otherwise the roots will easily rot.

Fern care precautions

1. Pruning

When ferns produce dead branches, yellow leaves and some undesirable branches and leaves, they should be pruned in time to ensure that its leaves and branches remain fresh and beautiful, and at the same time facilitate the sprouting of new branches.

2. Fertilization

During the growth period of ferns, it is best to apply a thin liquid compound fertilizer once every 2 to 3 weeks. If its leaves are relatively thin and yellow, it means that the frequency of fertilization should be increased or no fertilizer should be applied.
