Beech fern prefers deep shade and consistently moist, humus-rich, acidic soil, making it ideal for woodland or shaded garden borders. Water regularly to prevent the delicate fronds from wilting, and mulch around the base to retain moisture. Avoid direct sun and dry conditions, which can scorch and stress the plant.
