How To Grow
ferns can be grown in a moist terrarium, aquarium, or in small plastic boxes, as long as it is not too hot. These locations allow for better-controlled growth conditions and modifications to allow as much expansion as possible.
Low light and some added CO2 can kick ferns growth rate to an accelerated new level.

Our Clay discs are inoculated with thousands of spores. Your clay disc arrives dehydrated. First rehydrate your disc by placing in a bowl or plastic container and covering it with water, leave it for about 1 hour. You can either use your disc whole or dive her into smaller pieces. She can be squished into cracks in walls or rocks or placed on top, it is advised to push down and hold your disc to its forever place then do not disturb. Do not put the disc under a running water feature as the clay will run off, this will disperse spores everywhere.

Watering
ferns are the type of plant that will require a large quantity of water and high humidity spraying the leaves regularly is advised.

Adding diversity to an enclosure is key to an aesthetically pleasing enclosure. Try mixing up the look of your vivarium with different flora that can easily co-exist in the same types of environment.
