Fern Lemon Button

Plant Daddies utilizes a chemical free pest solution in order to protect our plants future homes and pets.

We allow lady bugs to roam free in our greenhouse and on our plants.

You may receive a lady bug or two in your plants; they are non-invasive, healthy insects that will not harm your plants.

Light:
Give your Ferns a position near a window that gets morning or late afternoon sun, and keep the Ferns away from strong sunlight, especially during the summer. Direct sunlight will make them lose their leaves or turn their fronds yellow. You can keep your Ferns in dim light as long as you give them regular breaks in bright light. They can be given artificial light, but this should be from a special gardening bulb or a fluorescent strip. Ordinary light bulbs generate too much heat.

Water:
Most Ferns like evenly moist soil with regular waterings. Allowing the soil to dry out between waterings stresses these plants. Bushy Ferns can be difficult to water. Try using a watering can with a long spout to direct the water to the center of the plant. Water generously, until it drains out of the bottom of the pot.

Temperature:
An individual Fern’s place of origin and adaptability will determine how high or low temperature the fern needs. Most Ferns don’t like cold. Those Ferns from tropical regions truly appreciate 60°-70° F. Those from more temperate regions enjoy temperatures between 50°-60° F.

Why are my leaves dry and crispy?
Your plant is probably being under watered, make sure you are keeping a consistent watering schedule. We also recommend pruning off the brown leaves to allow more room for new growth. 

Why are my leaves yellowing?
This is likely caused by overwatering. Ferns like their soil to be damp but do not want to be wet or oversaturated. Keeping a regular watering schedule will help prevent overwatering.

Why are my leaves drooping?
This is likely because your Fern is not receiving enough water. Try to keep a consistent watering schedule. Water your Fern when the top 2-3 inches of soil are dry. 

During winter months, we recommend adding a heat pack on ALL SHIPPING ORDERS. In addition, please consider upgrading to Priority Shipping to minimize potential delays and cold damage.
