1. Let me tell you:
The ferns you mentioned are not suitable for growing indoors!
Originally, the ferns you mentioned are very suitable for growing in the natural environment in Southwest and South China. However, indoors, it doesn’t work in the southwest, and it doesn’t work in other areas even more.
2. Let me tell you a phenomenon first:
Nowadays, there are more and more cultivated plants in homes or offices, and various ferns are loved by many people. But can you see ferns grown indoors?
No!
There are no traces of ferns in the pots of plants grown indoors.
Indoor planting, mainly evergreen foliage plants such as pothos, philodendron, taro, prickly pear, lucky bamboo, dracaena, palm, monstera, anthurium, pineapple and other ornamental plants. Flowering plants, as well as woody plants such as Malabar chestnut and phlox.
3. Why are ferns not suitable for indoor planting?
Because this type of plant requires a warm, humid surrounding environment, natural ventilation and diffused sunlight.
Among them, a humid surrounding environment refers to a very high air humidity. Just like many streams, rivers, ponds, the sunny side of hillsides, and bushes, ferns are very Dense because the air humidity in these places is high. So, what about indoors? Whose home is often filled with mist? In that case, wouldn't mold grow in the house?
Natural ventilation is also needed by ferns, but in a basically closed room, even if the windows are often opened for ventilation, it will not meet the requirements.
Scattered sunlight refers to the sunlight coming out of the gaps between branches and leaves. This is very important. Because there is no sunlight, photosynthesis of ferns cannot be completed. Indoors, even if it is very bright, it is not sunlight.
4. If you have been to some botanical gardens, you will find that ferns grow very well in a greenhouse environment. At that time, the above conditions could be artificially created in a large transparent greenhouse. At home, humidity alone is not enough.
5. I have made many attempts in Guangzhou. Look at the ferns I planted, including nest fern, kidney fern, staghorn fern, maidenhair fern, and silver-veined fern. Tail fern, green cloud grass, Boston fern, rabbit's foot fern, petrified pheasant tail, etc.

I planted it on the rooftop and planted a lot of other plants around it. These ferns grow well next to a plant or on the edge of another plant's pot. But if you put it indoors, it can still grow when it rains in spring. But once it comes to the dry season of summer and autumn, it will definitely not survive!
6. Rely on experience, not on feeling. You will know after you have tried it.
Hope this helps.
