Macho Fern Care
Scientific Name
Nephrolepis biserrata
Light
Macho ferns in hanging baskets 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 from direct exposure.
Water
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.
Hardiness Zones
The Macho Fern plant is rated for Zones 9 to 10.
Pet Friendliness
The Macho fern is pet friendly!

How to Care for a Macho Fern?
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?
Yes, macho ferns (Nephrolepis biserrata) are perennial plants. They are known for their longevity and resilience, growing year after year when provided with suitable growing conditions. As perennials, macho ferns can endure through different seasons, making them a lasting and attractive addition to gardens or indoor spaces.
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.
Are Macho Ferns Poisonous to Cats?
Macho ferns, like many fern species, are considered non-toxic to cats. These ferns are generally safe for homes with feline companions. However, it’s essential to monitor pets and ensure they do not consume large quantities of any plant material. 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.

The ferns arrived in great condition, well packaged and are beautiful.
The macho fern arrived in the promised time-frame, exceptionally well packed to prevent damage during shipping. The fern was beautiful, large and full, already looking great in the large pot I use for macho ferns. In fact, I was so impressed by the plant that I immediately ordered one sent to some friends who had just moved into a new home with the perfect deck for a macho fern. I have no problems recommending this seller to others!
