CARE OF FERNS
IN THE HOME

The foundation of most fern troubles, says
(name)

, is improver watering, especially keep-
(ext. horticulturist or floriculturist)
ing the plant soaked or permitting it to become dry. Ferns should be watered
Sparingly but should be kept moist at all times. It is esvecially difficult
not to over-water when the fern is in a jardiniere, where drainaze is necessar—
ily poor. In spring and summer, ferns require three times the water necessary
in autumn and winter. recommends keeping
ferns in a strong light although they grow well, says, without

full sunlight. They should be repotted every year.
