Maybe I'll give them another go. They HATE draughts and any kind of direct sun, and as others have said love humidity. Bathrooms are usually good for them, as long as it isn't too cold.

Happily though it seems to be the opposite, once it got settled in it was flying. It needs high humidity but as I am in Ireland and you are in the UK we're ace for the high humidity so you don't need to mist it. I water mine about once or James P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15443277419350516953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3767473944052554087.post-77660783863570107942013-06-12T10:38:30.317+01:002013-06-12T10:38:30.317+01:00I had one doing well in my bathroom years ago, but...I had one doing well in my bathroom years ago, but when I moved it near the window, it died.

I thought I'd killed mine twice after forgetting to water but it came back to life and flourished after I snipped off all the dead bits. Keeping the soil moist is key. Lovely pot btw.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03313838816605190690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3767473944052554087.post-31838640126944377542013-06-12T05:53:04.789+01:002013-06-12T05:53:04.789+01:00I have been in love with this plant for over a yea...I have been in love with this plant for over a year now, but I could never figure out what it's called in Dutch (I live in Holland) so thanks to this article I now know we call it "venushaar" which means "venus hair" hehe :)<br /><br />so thank you very much! xx KimKimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03954559422483721567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3767473944052554087.post-909407223890274482013-06-12T02:01:51.438+01:002013-06-12T02:01:51.438+01:00Oooo, I want one!

I had my first one in my room and it died. I semi-revived it when I put it in my bathroom and now its growing nicely but still recovering. Like the above commenter stated it needs humidity! Never forget to water. :)Allyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16525961653253072449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3767473944052554087.post-47352723806376780242013-06-11T22:13:43.548+01:002013-06-11T22:13:43.548+01:00I have grown many a maiden hair fern.....what they...I have grown many a maiden hair fern.....what they need most is humidity....so if you don't have much where it is hung....try and mist it daily if you can.
