Share
Intro
Ferns have been loved for centuries for their lush green leaves and graceful shapes. They add a timeless charm to any interior and are ideal for naturally enlivening a space. In this blog, we take you on a journey into the world of ferns: from their rich history and unique properties to tips for care and styling in the home.
The charm and history of ferns
Ferns are one of the oldest plants on earth, dating back millions of years. Their graceful leaves and soft green hues make them a soothing addition to any interior. Ferns became hugely popular in Victorian times and are now enjoying a resurgence in both modern and classic styles.
Care of ferns
• Light : Ferns like indirect light and can thrive in places with less direct sunlight. A spot near a window with filtered light is ideal.
• Water : Ferns like moist soil, so make sure the soil doesn't dry out. Water regularly, but be careful not to let the pot get soaking wet.
• Humidity : Due to their natural origin in humid forests, ferns need high humidity. Preferably place them in the bathroom or use a humidifier in drier rooms.
Ferns in your interior
Ferns can be a great addition to your interior, especially in spaces where you want to create a soft, natural feel. Place a large fern in a corner of the room for a statement look, or place smaller ferns on shelves and tables to add a touch of greenery. Combine different types of ferns for a playful effect, or add ferns to a group of plants for added depth and texture.
