Sunlight: Most ferns do well in part shade, but some types will do well under quite a bit of sun, as long as you provide them with enough water. For shade-loving ferns, it’s best to keep their soil moist. Never allow the soil to dry out between watering.
Water: Most ferns like evenly moist soil since allowing the soil to dry out between waterings can cause stress to these plants, so it’s best to water them regularly.
