The Ferns They are some of the plants considered as living fossils, since they were one of the first to appear on Earth, after all those that we know as moss did. In their heyday, they grew over practically the entire surface of the earth. The climate was so pleasant that it favored that some of them reached surprising heights considering the stage of evolution in which they were.

Today we find them mainly in tropical areas, where they live in humid forests, under the shade of the large trees that draw the landscape. Fortunately, there are many that we can have indoors without problems. Here we will tell you the three best to take care of.
