Answer 2

Wow, quite the range of answers here....

My experience is that ferns tend to thrive indoors with nothing more than ambient light.  In fact, the ones I've placed near windows don't fare so well.  I've found that misting them daily helps.  I also like to use a food called Oxygen Plus about once a month.  Otherwise, I water twice a week.  If you're a smoker, don't bother trying to grow a fern indoors...  they really don't like cigarette smoke.  Oh, and cats seem to like chewing on ferns.

I'm pretty sure a solar lamp would cause a fern to yellow and wither...

But these are just my own personal experiences... here's some links with fern grow tips... see what they say:

Answer 3

Sure.

Answer 4

Ferns are very finicky and prefer natural light.
