Once this happens, clip out the damaged fronds - they won't recover - and keep the air around the fern as moist as possible. You may also see brown, dry fronds when ferns don't get the right amount of light or when you don't water or fertilize properly.
These problems are easily corrected when you understand the plant's needs. Ferns need high humidity to grow healthy, green fronds. Frequent misting helps, but it isn't enough to solve the problem of dry air. Humidifiers provide the ideal solution, but some people are put off by the high cost of purchasing the equipment and the energy it takes to run a humidifier all the time.
Try placing the fern in the bathroom or kitchen where humidity is naturally high. You can create a moist microclimate around your fern by filling a tray with pebbles and water and placing the fern on top of it.
As the water evaporates, it keeps the air in the immediate area moist. Keep the water level in the tray below the top of the pebbles so that the fern isn't sitting directly in the water. Ferns with thick leaves, such as the bird's nest fern Asplenium nidus , tolerate dryer air than lacy-leaved ferns. Bird's nest ferns can only tolerate winters outdoors in U. Misting frequently is also necessary to maintain the moisture, but be aware that too much misting can cause foliar leaf spot diseases.
Direct sun burns the leaves of the fern. While outdoors, hang the fern from an uppermost rafter of a porch or lanai, thus avoiding the harsh daytime sun and exposing it only to the gentle morning sun. Indoor ferns like east-facing windows but if a south- or west-facing window is the only possibility, place the plant several feet away from the incoming sun. When the days are short, such as from November through February, you can place the plant in the direct light of a west- or south-facing window, but be sure to check its moisture level and move it when the sun gets stronger.
If you find that the foliage is getting burned, move the plant, close the heavy drapes and use the sheer curtains. Be sure the plant is not near a heating vent or radiator as the dry air is too strong for the fern to survive.
Placing a humidifier nearby helps keep the plant moist. When the weather warms and you move the fern outdoors, give it a good haircut. Trim the fronds down to about 2 to 3 inches and set the pot outdoors in the bright spring sunlight.
