🌱 When designing and planting a fern garden, it is important to find the right situation that provides shade and moisture for the ferns.

🌿 Different ferns have different water and sunlight requirements, so it's crucial to choose ferns that are suitable for your specific region and the conditions of your garden.

🌞 Some ferns, like the Korean rock fern, can handle a little more sun, while others, like the Himalayan maidenhair fern, prefer a nice shade.

🌍 Consider the other plants you want to include in your fern garden, as they should thrive in similar conditions.

🌺 In addition to green ferns, consider adding flowering plants and other species that love the same conditions to create a diverse and visually appealing garden.

🍃 Choose a variety of evergreen ferns that will ensure greenery in your garden even when some ferns die down, like the maidenhair fern.

🌱 When planting ferns, ensure that the soil is loose, humus-rich, and well-draining. If necessary, add compost to improve the soil quality.

💦 Water newly planted ferns immediately, as they are moisture-needing plants that require consistent watering.

🌿 When planting ferns, bury them at the same depth as they were in their container, and make sure to give them enough space to grow to their mature size.
