Hello Doret

I think you missed the message; in the southern hemisphere you may need 
a *Southern*  window for fern spore germination.  They need good light, 
humidity, but not the excessive heat and dessication from the direct rays of 
the sun.

Actually, any well-illuminated spot out of the direct path of sun-rays will 
probably do.

Contrary to popular belief, they do not need to share a house with people 
  =|;-)>. 
If you have a garage or garden shed with a shelf and the desired light levels, 
they may succeed.
