The care secret that transformed my Ostrich Fern

I'd had Ostrich Fern for about eight months with acceptable but unremarkable results. Then I started really paying attention to misting the fronds in dry centrally heated rooms and the difference over the next two months was dramatic.

exceptional ability to thrive in deep shade became much more pronounced. The plant in a hanging basket in a cool bathroom now looks like a completely different specimen. frond dieback in winter for deciduous species confirmed that I'd finally unlocked what this plant can do. frond browning and crisp tips in dry air has been less of a problem since I got the overall conditions right. If your Ostrich Fern is underwhelming, look at misting the fronds in dry centrally heated rooms first.
