GROWING KIMBERLY QUEEN FERNS INDOORS
Choose a fantastic container and spruce up your indoor space! Bring the vibrance of nature home when you decorate with Kimberly Queen Fern plants. When grown indoors, make sure your plant receives medium light throughout the day. Place in front of a north facing window for example to provide your plant with enough light to grow well, but not so much that the leaves lose their vibrant green color.
Watering is important when taking care of your Kimberly Queen Ferns indoors. Allow the top few inches or 25% of your potting soil to dry out before watering again. The leaves may even turn a pale green color when your plant is thirsty. When the fronds turn crispy or brown, that means you could be overwatering. Pick up a Rapidtest Digital Moisturemeter at our store nearest you! Know exactly how much water your plant needs and help making watering even easier.
Ferns love humidity. That’s why they thrive in homes or offices. They like temperatures around 60-70 degrees and need to be kept away from fireplaces and heaters.

Watering is important no matter where it is planted. Whether in the ground or in a container, Kimberly Queen Ferns need regular moisture when planted outdoors.
