In their natural forest environment, spleenwort ferns are primarily covered by a canopy of trees, receiving a bit of shade and partial sunlight. To successfully grow the fern indoors, try and mimic these conditions by finding a spot in your home that receives indirect sunlight only. Avoid harsh light or direct rays, as the delicate leaves of the spleenwort fern can burn very easily. However, too little light leads to poor growth and yellowing fronds. Try to find a spot that receives indirect morning or afternoon sun, like a northern window. But be careful: this prima donna dislikes cold drafts!

Consistently moist soil is a great place to start—from there, be sure to water your fern regularly, either daily or every other day, never allowing the soil to dry out. Watch for yellow leaves that may occur from overwatering. Do not let the plant's roots stand in water. Moisture is vital--but drainage is important to avoid root rot.
