"Hi. I am Stan DeFreitas. Mr. Green Thumb. Very interesting it's nice to have a plant like the ferns. Ferns are beautiful plants in your lawn and landscape. Remember that ferns of course have to be in partial shade if there in hot full sun. They probably are going to have some problems. But if you want a plant that?s underneath the shade of an oak tree or a large maple well this is hard to beat. You may also have these on your porch or patio. It?s one of those plants that take those types of conditions well. If you do have it inside remember you'll probably have to water it a little bit more. Maybe even mist it with a hand mister form time to time because ferns like a good deal of moisture. They like that type of condition where there underneath the overhang of other plants and trees and remember there a under story plant. But there beautiful. There easy to take care of and there plants that you can have for a good ling time. There kind of the staple of the indoor garden and also for areas you have landscapes where you have shade galore. They'll do the best in partial shade to near full shade. For On Gardening I?m Stan DeFreitas. Mr. Green Thumb."
