Find a protected light position
Many ferns grow best away from intense direct sun, which can dry or scorch delicate fronds. A bright shaded corner or filtered light may work, depending on the species. Observe the spot at different times of day and avoid assuming that every fern has identical light needs.
Balance moisture with airflow
Ferns generally dislike being left completely dry for long periods, but persistently waterlogged roots can also cause problems. Use a suitable growing medium and container drainage, and check moisture regularly. Gentle airflow helps foliage dry after watering without exposing plants to harsh drafts.
Consider the season and setting
Heat, dry indoor air and monsoon exposure can affect fern care in Pune. Choose a location that is easy to monitor and adjust watering as conditions change. For a larger shaded garden or planting project, discuss the site and maintenance routine with the Decor-Plants team.
