Ferns

Ferns are a diverse group of plants that thrive in humid, shaded environments and are known for their delicate, feathery fronds. They are among the oldest plant species on Earth, with a history dating back over 300 million years. Common types of ferns, such as the Boston fern (Nephrolepis exaltata) and maidenhair fern (Adiantum), are popular in both indoor and outdoor gardens for their lush, graceful appearance. Ferns typically prefer indirect or filtered light, as direct sunlight can scorch their fronds. They thrive in consistently moist, well-draining soil and high humidity, making them ideal for bathrooms or kitchens. While ferns are relatively low-maintenance, they do require regular watering to prevent their fronds from wilting. Overwatering, however, can lead to root rot, so it's important to ensure the soil is not soggy. These plants also help purify the air, making them a beneficial and attractive addition to home decor. With their rich, vibrant foliage and air-purifying qualities, ferns are an excellent choice for adding greenery and a touch of nature to indoor spaces.
