How should I water my Autumn Fern when growing it indoors?
Keep the soil consistently moist by watering when the top inch feels dry to the touch. Reduce the frequency of watering during the winter months to prevent waterlogging.
Can this fern be planted outside in my garden, and does it require any special care in the colder months?
Yes, the Autumn Fern is hardy and can thrive in UK outdoor gardens. Plant it in a shaded area with rich, moist soil. In winter, protect the plant with a mulch layer to help insulate the roots from extreme cold.
I’m new to terrariums. How suitable is the Autumn Fern for such setups and what should I consider when adding it?
This fern is ideal for terrariums due to its preference for high humidity and indirect light. Ensure your terrarium has a well-draining substrate and is placed in a location that receives bright, indirect sunlight. Regular misting will help maintain the necessary humidity levels.
