Thrives in bright, but indirect light. Can tolerate bright medium light conditions such as in front of an unobstructed northern or eastern window, but may lose some density in foliage.

Water: High
Likes to stay consistently moist. Water 2x a week or more depending on environment.

Additional Information: Though ferns are known as shade plants, indoors, ferns need really bright filtered light to grow well. They use a lot of water and need adequate light in their environment to help them look their best without browning or crisping. Many varieties also benefit greatly from high humidity.
