Nephrolepis biserrata
Light
Macho ferns thrive when positioned outdoors in areas with partial to full shade. Ideal locations include spots with filtered sunlight or under the cover of porches and patio shades. It’s crucial to avoid direct sunlight exposure, especially during the intense afternoon hours, to prevent potential damage to the fern’s delicate fronds. When cultivated indoors, these ferns prefer medium to bright indirect light but can adapt to low-light conditions. The use of a sheer curtain helps diffuse harsh sunlight, safeguarding the macho fern plant from direct exposure.

Macho Ferns FAQ
How to Care for a Macho Fern Plant?
Macho ferns in hanging baskets require care that includes placing them in areas with partial to full shade when outdoors and providing medium to bright indirect light when indoors. It’s crucial to avoid direct sunlight, especially during intense afternoon hours, and to keep the soil consistently moist, preventing it from drying out completely. Regular watering, typically once or twice a week, is essential for the health of macho ferns, adjusting the frequency based on temperature and environmental conditions.
Are Macho Ferns Perennials?
Can Macho Ferns Take Full Sun?
Macho ferns are best suited for partial to full shade, especially when grown outdoors. While they can tolerate medium to bright indirect light indoors, direct sunlight exposure, particularly during the intense afternoon sun, should be avoided to prevent damage to the fern’s delicate fronds. Placing macho ferns in spots with filtered sunlight or under patio shades helps maintain their health and vitality.

Then, it is prepped for shipping where we carefully wrap the base to ensure minimum soil spillage while your plant travels to you. After this a recycled paper sleeve is placed around your plant. If your plant is traveling to a colder climate, it gets extra special attention with a recycled blue jean plant-blanket for the ride.

Es Hermoso! Llego muy bien envalado, me encanta.
This is one of the most beautiful and healthy ferns I have ever owned. Ive had it well over a month and it is so easy to care for and is thriving.
I am thrilled with this plant. It was bigger than I anticipated but it fits perfectly into the pot I have for it. The growing instructions were very helpful. I would buy from here again.
Ordered from these folks last year, too, & they are absolutely gorgeous macho ferns. Got here quickly and in good shape
