    I love these ferns, I've always wanted one as a house plant and I noticed today that Morrisons had some little ones for a £1 so I duly invested, only problem is I don't do well with house plants...

    So tips on how to care and not kill the poor thing?

    Shady spot, acidic compost and don't let it dry out.

    (Don't drown it, either.) :)
