Water the ferns daily, providing evenly distributed moisture that keeps the soil moist, but not over saturated. The soil should always be moist to the touch, but there should never be standing water in the pot.

2
Position the ferns near a window, where they will receive sunlight throughout the day, but not be subjected to long periods of heavy sunlight. Filtered light through curtains or drapes is also acceptable, simply position the ferns as close to a window as possible so they receive a fair amount of mild sunlight on a daily basis.
