Macho Fern Care

Nephrolepis biserrata

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.

Consistent moisture is key to the well-being of macho ferns. The soil should be kept consistently moist, ensuring it doesn’t dry out completely. Macho ferns are not tolerant of drought, so regular watering is essential for their health. Indoor macho ferns may require watering once or twice a week, adjusting the frequency based on temperature and environmental conditions.

The Macho Fern plant is rated for Zones 9 to 10.

While macho ferns are not known to be harmful, it’s advisable to consult with a veterinarian if there are concerns about a pet’s interaction with indoor plants.
