What is the best way to treat ferns. I have several but in one particular area they look like they are being stripped and dying they are also turning yellow |
The basics of growing ferns in the landscape are the same as growing them in pots. Site selection in terms of drainage and light exposure is critical. Ferns require well-drained soil. Sandy soils or humus soils with good surface drainage are preferred. Heavy clay soils or soils with a shallow clay pan should be avoided or amended to provide good aeration and drainage. Light intensity is another key factor in site selection for plantings of ferns. Ferns either prefer or require indirect light for production of high-quality fronds (leaves). They are excellent plants for shady areas where other plants will not grow well. Keep them well watered and they should thrive. |
