Lady Fern (Athyrium filix-femina)
Lady Fern (Athyrium filix-femina)
The Lady Fern (Athyrium filix-femina) is a deciduous, pet-safe fern prized for its soft, feathery fronds and upright, vase-like form. Native to woodlands and shady slopes, this fern adds a delicate, textured green elegance to indoor plant collections or shaded outdoor beds. With its fast-growing habit and high tolerance for moist soils, the Lady Fern is an excellent option for shade gardens, woodland-themed borders, or bathroom displays where humidity is high.

Sun Requirements ▾
Prefers partial to full shade.
Ideal for woodland gardens, north-facing patios, or indoors in indirect light.
Avoid direct midday sun, which can scorch fronds.
Watering Instructions ▾
Keep soil consistently moist, especially during the growing season.
Water when the top inch of soil feels dry.
Do not allow to dry out completely, but avoid soggy soil.
Care Tips ▾
Soil:
Thrives in rich, humus-filled, well-draining soil.
Incorporate compost or leaf mold for added moisture retention and nutrients.
Acidic to neutral pH preferred (around 6.0–7.0).
Fertilizer:
Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring.
Alternatively, use diluted liquid fertilizer every 4–6 weeks during the growing season.
Avoid overfeeding, which may reduce the fern’s natural grace.
Humidity:
Prefers high humidity.
Mist regularly if grown indoors or use a humidifier.
Outdoors, mulch around the base to conserve moisture and boost humidity near the roots.
