FERN CARE:

Ferns are among the oldest plants in the world, first appearing in fossils dating back some 360 million years ago.  Many of the current ferns now, date back roughly 145 million years and include over 10,000 unique species.  They are different from almost all other houseplants in that they do not flower or produce seeds, and instead, reproduce by spores.
Commonly kept as houseplants for their lush, green fronds, ferns can be a bit tricky to keep without the right conditions.  Those that master the art of keeping ferns in their house benefit from their ability to purify the air and don't have to worry about their pets and children as ferns are non toxic and pet safe!

Ferns prefer to be shaded. Terrestrial varieties of ferns live along the forest floor, getting spots of indirect light, but never feeling the warmth and strength of direct sun rays.  Epiphytic varieties, while suspended in tree limbs, are generally still covered by the forest canopy and protected from the harsh sun.  Because of this, ferns can take residence in any room of your home or office, as long as they receive some natural, indirect light.

The key to fern keeping, and what most people struggle with, is water and humidity.  Ferns like to be moist at all times.  If they dry out, they quickly brown and whither away to nothing.  They also like higher humidity levels, but prefer to have their fronds stay dry.  Tanks, Terrariums and Domes will help maintain your ferns for years, as they can create a moist, humid environment with less need to water.  Humidifiers also help if your fern can not be enclosed and a bathroom with a shower can be an ideal location for your ferns, as long there is a window for some diffused light.

While it is not completely necessary, you can use a general purpose, high quality fertilizer from Spring through Fall.  We recommend diluting the fertilizer to about 50% strength.  Fish Head Farms soil conditioner is a great option to use year round to provide essential nutrients and promote strong, healthy growth.

Terrestrial ferns are not too picky with their soil needs.  We have seen them successfully grown in anything from Cactus mix and Peat Moss, to regular potting soil.  Just be sure that whatever you use is a high quality to prevent fungal gnats.  Epiphytic and Semi-Epiphytic ferns, such as Staghorn, Birdsnest and Rabbit's Foot ferns, will benefit from a loose, airy mixture.  Mixing chunky perlite or vermiculite in to Peat moss or a Cactus blend will suffice.  These ferns can be grown quite well with just Sphagnum moss, as long as you keep it moist.

Ferns are moderate growers, especially once they are established. We recommend repotting every year or 2, but only if they are noticeably pot bound.  Even then, you only want to move up 2" or so in pot sizes to reduce stress.  This should be done in the Spring or early Summer months.  If you have just recently purchased your plant, do not repot it for at least 6 months.

The most common pest issues for ferns include Mealy Bugs and Red Spider Mites, however, even Scale Bugs can cause issues.  It is always best practice to isolate any new plants you bring in to your home for a few weeks to watch for little pests.  For help and tips on prevention and treatment of pests, see our At Home Pest Recipes  here!

Not bad but read my full review if you are experimenting with different brands
Scent: Hair Styler (1 Pack)
So I am middle of the road on this product. First, I love the products from this brand and use some of their other products quite regularly. I was on a search for an alternative to the Crew Forming Cream (which I have used for maybe 20 years) and decided to purchase this product by Huron as well as the much cheaper medium hold styling cream by Cremo. All three are great products but you will need to decide for yourself how much hold you need as I have discovered that each are quite different and really shouldn't be compared to one another. I will say that if I had to put them all into two categories then Crew is heavy hold and Huron and Cremo is medium / light hold. I must admit that I was skeptical that the cheaper of the three, Cremo, would win me over but it has. For the record it has a very subtle scent (hardly noticable), just enough hold and does not leave you feeling like you have product in your hair. This is similar to Huron as well (although Huron is a very creamy in texture and you can tell its a higher quality product) but at the end of the day all that matters is great hold from a product that is affordable and does not leave a sticky texture in your hair. Cremo wins hands down. As for Crew, well it was a good ride but too expensive and way too heavy...time to move on.

So lightweight. Perfect for extra thick hair.
Scent: Hair Styler (1 Pack)
Its almost mousse like in how light weight it is and smells fantastic. I wanted something just above light weight hold and not weigh my thick hair down and this does a great job. A little pricey but SO much better than the usual store brands out there. And my wife is totally in love with how great it smells when I put it on, so bonus!

Product didn’t leave a greasy feeling to the hands or the hair. Kept hold all day for my hair style but I knew it was light hold going in. It has a great scent

No texture issues
Scent: Hair Styler (1 Pack)
I’ve never been one to like hair product because I don’t like how they make my hair feel “crunchy” or overly stiff. However, this kind provides a nice, loose hold that doesn’t make my hair feel weird. If you can spare the extra few dollars and don’t need a strong hold, I would recommend this!

Better than any hair cream available today.
Scent: Hair Styler (1 Pack)
I have been using the HURON hair product for nearly ten months. A great product that is modestly priced. I apply the product on my hair after showering. The best thing about the product iis it’s crangrance free and it is not greasy or sticky. My hair combs beautifully after applying.
