Find a location for Zimmerfarn
Most ferns love the usual room temperatures between 16 and 22 ° C. Ferns do not get along well with a place in the direct sun. Ideally, the windowsill in the bathroom, in the kitchen and in the living room, insofar as these premises are not in full sun at lunchtime.
Find the pase earth
A humus rich, well-drained substrate will best meet the needs of the fern. The soil should be slightly moist. Ideally suited is a clay granulate. On the one hand waterlogging has no chance there and on the other hand the root ball of the plant does not dry out.
Properly pour and fertilize
The fern in the room should be watered regularly. Lime-free water is best suited for this purpose. If necessary, you should descale the tap water before pouring. Furthermore, the fern meets a water fog. Spray it now and then with water!
A slow-release fertilizer is ideal for providing nutrients to the fern every two weeks from spring to autumn. You can also use a conventional flower fertilizer. But beware: use it in half concentration. More economical is a shot of milk, which you give every 2 weeks in the irrigation water.
Caution: Dry soil increases the risk of pest infestation!
Some pests, such as spider mites, aphids and European mourners, like to eat ferns. You do not have to cut off infected parts. All you have to do is clean it of the vermin and adjust the care.
