Cultivation of nephrolepis
Only two varieties of nephrolepis can be grown at home. A beginner florist can handle such a plant, since the fern is unpretentious in its care. It is important to get acquainted with the proper care of the flower early, and it will not cause too much trouble. It is worth noting that nephrolepis attracts not only its appearance, but also the fact that it has the property of purifying the air. The plant kills not only microbes that are in the air due to a sick person, but also toluene and formaldehyde. Therefore, quite often it can be seen in polyclinics or in hospitals.
The first of the main tasks in growing and caring for a plant is to provide it with the necessary light regime. This fern prefers dark places most of all, and because of this, it is strictly forbidden to put the flower on the sunny side. Of course, this does not mean that the plant needs to be hidden in the darkest corners of the room. A penumbra with diffused lighting will be a suitable location for such a fern.
You can also put the fern under special lamps if you cannot place it under natural light. It is advisable to leave the nephrolepis under artificial light for a couple of hours every day. Due to its beautiful appearance, such a plant can fit into different interior styles.
The best option for good growth and development will be the east side of the window. If the windows in the apartment do not face the east side, then you can place it on the south side at a distance of 1-2 meters from the window.
With the onset of the summer season, it is advisable to take nephrolepis into the fresh air. Do not forget that the flower should stand even on the balcony in a darkened place. It is also worth protecting the plant from rain, because it can greatly affect the growth of the flower in the future.
In autumn and winter, the fern should always be in a warm room. In the cold season, nephrolepis needs artificial light with the help of special lamps that should shine on it for about seven hours a day.
Throughout the year, the optimal temperature regime for the proper cultivation of nephrolepis should be + 21-22 degrees Celsius. Experienced growers noted that the plant can survive with a fairly low temperature of + 12 degrees, but this will become a very strong stress for the flower, which will lead not only to various diseases, but also to harmful insects.
In addition to the correct light regime, the development and growth of the fern is greatly influenced by the humidity of the air. This flower will be comfortable in a room with high humidity. This is due to the fact that nephrolepis grows mainly in tropical climates, and this climate has high humidity.
When growing a flower at home, it is necessary to spray the nephrolepis every day. Experienced growers advise spraying such a fern about three times a day. If you spray it every day, it will have the required moisture level. You can also make a tray with water next to the flower in order to humidify the air.
