Carefully grab a chunk of roots and fronds that separate naturally from the fern itself. Then, replant each of these sections in a new area far away from each other in your yard to give them enough room to thrive.

As long as your ferns look healthy, they're fine! The best time to divide indoor ferns is in spring when they are ready to start producing fresh, new growth again.
Dividing your plants is also an easy way to expand the greenery in your home, or you can share with friends. While some fern varieties may not be quite as easy to grow as other impossible-to-kill houseplants you'll find at the garden center, they are all well worth including in your indoor garden if you're willing to give them a little TLC.

Back to story Comment on this project. In most cases, placing a sheer curtain over your window is the best option. However, if nowhere in your house is suitable, you can get away with moving your fern throughout the day, giving them morning sun and afternoon shade. The key thing to takeaway is that ferns need a mix of light and shade.
Too little light can stunt their growth, but too much can burn them. It may take a little trial and error to find the best place in your home for your fern. Ferns are relatively healthy plants, and, thankfully, pests are less common indoors than they are outside. However, there are a few problems you can look out for, like leaf tip burn. Leaf tip burn is caused by over-fertilization. The difference is that leaf tip burn is specifically browning of the tips of leaves and fronds, while sun burns are more universal.
Since ferns require consistent moisture, they are prime targets for fungi that thrive in wet soil. However, indoor plants have less chance of exposure to fungal spores. Avoid watering from overhead and getting the fronds wet, as this can spread any spores that are present. The main thing to avoid when caring for an indoor fern is letting it dry out.
A dry fern is an unhappy, unhealthy fern. Container grown ferns can be planted throughout the year, with the optimum time being spring or early autumn.
Autumn is a particular good time to plant ferns into soil which is likely to get dry in the summer. Plant to the same level of soil as in the pot. Many crown-forming ferns do not like to be planted too deeply. Mulch with bark chippings after planting to conserve moisture and to reduce any weed growth in the vicinity of the plants. In general ferns are pretty much trouble free, being rarely eaten by rabbits and deer. They do not generally suffer from aphids or other sap-sucking insects.
Slugs can sometimes be a nuisance. Some of the denser growing ferns may get occasional leaf spots but this can usually be prevented and cured by good plant hygiene and periodically removing dead fronds. The following care notes relate to Dicksonia antarctica, care of other species of tree ferns will be found adjacent to the specific plants in the web store.
This hardy tree fern is one of the most exciting plants to become widely available to gardeners in recent years. They can be used with great success in the garden to give an exotic and architectural effect like no other plant. The trunks are slow to increase in height growing at the rate of about 3cm per year, so when buying a plant it is best not to think of it increasing substantially in height in the near future.
The fronds however are vigorous and even a short plant can have fronds that are 1. The best conditions for growing Dicksonias are moist soil, humidity, part or full shade, and shelter from strong winds.
They will however happily grow in full sun provided they do not run short of water. When planting a bare trunk, dig a shallow hole and add some organic matter such as garden compost. Site the trunk no more than about 5cm into the ground.
