I bought a tree fern for my bathroom. I’m happy with it, but, as you might expect, it’s leaning quite significantly towards the light. Is there any way of correcting this for a more symmetrical look?

    Keep turning it round on a regular basis.

    Not very helpful I know but that window is beautiful.

    Would it help to put a mirror opposite the window? Adding a grow light would probably be a bit of overkill I imagine.
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    Can you not put it outside for the summer?

    I bought it for the bathroom. Maybe I should have kept it outside whilst the fronds were emerging ...then brought it indoors.

    Now, this is what I initially planned to do, but was told not to because apparently the fronds get all twisted and unattractive.
