Ferns are flowerless plants with intricate foliage and a frond leaf (divided leaf) structure.
Most fern stems (also called rhizomes) grow horizontally, making them perfect indoor plants.
But some varieties, like tree ferns, have elevated rhizomes and grow vertically.
Popular indoor fern varieties include:
Fancy an evergreen fern for your garden?
Suitable outdoor fern varieties include:
You can even grow some outdoor fern varieties (like ostrich fern) inside, but they need specific conditions to flourish as houseplants.
Here’s what you need to know to grow fern plants:
Ferns have a shallow root system and require potting soil mix that’s:
Looking for the best soil mix for growing ferns?
Instead of regular potting soil, use a soil mix specifically crafted for ferns, like Rosy’s fern mix.
This well-draining soil mix is perfect for all types of ferns — perennial ferns, evergreen ferns, tropical ferns, or even a deciduous fern.
Most ferns need moist soil to thrive.
How do you ensure optimum humidity when growing ferns indoors?
Here are a few pointers to help you grow fern plants:
For dry regions, consider a fern plant that prefers low humidity, such as:
Most indoor and outdoor fern varieties require plenty of indirect sunlight year-round, especially during fall and winter.
Bottom line?
Plant ferns in areas with dappled shade (or partial shade).
Some hardy fern varieties, like northern maidenhair fern, can survive under full sun.
But direct sunlight can dry the soil and damage fern frond leaves.
Some best practices for a healthy fern plant include:
I used Rosy soil to plant succulents. I mixed it with a little bit of succulent mix and within 2 weeks, the succulents had grown larger and had new growth shoots. I bought more to transplant herbs for the spring. It's well worth the price and it's all I'll buy now.
The soil is super rich. I just had to transplant a lot of my plants and you can tell they love the soil
My plants thank you
I waited a bit to post to see how my Alocasia were handling the change. They absolutely love Rosy Soil. Every single one of my Alocasia are pushing out new leaves and retaining more of the older ones. It stays airy while retaining a fair amount of moisture. I've also used it in a self-watering pot with a philo camposportoanum and it's sent out tons of new leaves and loads of aerial roots. It's so happy.
Great product, my plants love it. And I'm so happy to be using a sustainable resource for my potting soil now. I'm allergic to coconut (and even cor processing is horrible for the environment) and peat is such a precious resource in the environment that makes them it's really disheartening to have limited options. Allergy meds and tons of salt from processing cor or slowly destroying a natural wonder were the only options I had. Thank you for producing such a quality, sustainable product. ❤️❤️ I'm trying to do my part and Rosy Soil makes it a lot easier to make a better choice. ❤️
I have purchased this soil several times and used it “as is” and recently I mixed it half and half with some greenhouse purchased soil. I seem to like it better as it holds moisture better. The Rosy Soil has been enhancing and promoting the growth of my plants. I plan on using it for all of my plants once I get to the larger ones. It’s a great product for all of my species so far. That is African violets to ferns to figs. It’s great!
Winter in NJ is always rough on my house plants. I added a layer of Rosy Soil to all and they look better than ever!
