Ferns are delicate plants that require special care in order to thrive, and because of the vast diversity of species, there is no one set way to do this. It will largely depend on the type of fern you have, but for the most part, there are a few factors to keep in mind, such as humidity level and light levels. Read on for helpful tips!

1. The type of fern you have will largely determine the specific requirements for nursing it back to health. For example, if you have an African sword plant, its normal home range is at high elevations within South Africa. This means that your fern needs bright light and more moderate temperatures than some other species. However, most ferns need medium humidity levels.

2. Since some types of ferns are natively found in jungles or rainforests, they do best with ample moisture around them so that their roots are not allowed to dry out too frequently. Most ferns need to be watered at least once a week, and some species require more precise care. For example, the maidenhair fern requires misting once a day. There are specific recommendations for each type of fern.

3. Whatever type of fern you have, it's important that you plant it in an area with lots of humidity around it so that the roots don't dry out too much between waterings. You can easily increase humidity levels by putting your plant on top of moist pebbles, but make sure they're not touching the bottom of your pot because this could cause root rot! If your home is naturally dry or drafty, try growing your fern in a bathroom with the shower running to increase humidity.

4. You should also make sure that your plant is getting the right amount of light. Different types of ferns have different needs, so do some research on what type you have before putting it in direct sunlight. For example, Polypody needs medium levels of bright light while Asplenium prefers low lighting conditions.

5. Make sure not to overwater your plant because this could cause root rot! While most types do require ample moisture, they won't all thrive if their roots are left sitting in water for too long. you aren't sure when your plant needs to be watered, wait until the top inch of soil is dry and then water it thoroughly.
