Each variety of fern thrives in dappled light created by tree branches they way they grow in the forest. Try to simulate these conditions when you plant them in your landscaping. Keep in mind that the more direct sunlight the fern gets, the more moisture it will require. However, fern plants can survive brief dry periods making them especially easy to care. Mulch around the fern plant with finely shredded leaves or leaf mold. This will mimic the conditions of the natural forest floor. Adding a layer each spring will help them retain moisture through the heat of summer.
Since the fern is a shallow-rooted plant, weed around them carefully watching for any sprouting fiddleheads. You don't have to worry about supplemental fertilizers for the fern plant. Compost and leaf mold mulch provides all its necessary nutrients. There is also no need to cut them back in the fall. The fronds will protect the crown over the winter.
