Fern is a beautiful green decoration for the yard.
But it is not recommended to plant this plant close to the house.
Agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh spoke about the pros and cons of this plant.
Why plant a fern
This plant is easy to care for. In particular, it does not require abundant watering.
In addition, it is frost-resistant and can easily grow in the shade.
Fern also helps repel rodents and some unwanted insects, including bedbugs and flies.
Why you can't plant close to the house
It is better not to plant this plant near the house. The fern can evaporate a lot of moisture.
At the same time, high humidity can cause rot and mold.
This plant has powerful and quite strongly branched roots. They can "capture" a large area.
Also, the roots of the fern can put pressure on the foundation, which can lead to various damages.
This plant, while repelling flies and other insects, can attract other pests.
In addition, the fern grows quickly, displacing other plants.
