How to grow ferns in hot weather conditions

Ferns are one of those plants that people find it difficult to grow due to their poor adaptability to the hot environment .We can always spot ferns growing easily in the hilly areas which are moderately hot and that receive more rainfall  or where prolonged winter conditions persists throughout the year.

They are one of the most rewarding plants who want to bring greenery indoors as they can survive indoors without much care .They need proper light conditions indoors for the whole day and can die when kept outdoors in hot summer day.

Ferns can survive in hot weather when kept in the shaded moist environment away from the direct sunlight in summer months.There are many varieties of fern that multiply from the roots and thus gives new plants every year.
