# Hi! This is Gully, he’s a frosted fern. I got him sometime in…

_Posted by Scarlet on 2026-02-22_

Hi! This is Gully, he’s a frosted fern. I got him sometime in December and he’s been doing great, up until now. I left for a five day vacation last week and watered him thoroughly before. I thought he’d be fine for that amount of time, but I was very wrong 😭. I think there’s still a chance of saving him, but I don’t know how. Any advice is appreciated! Please help!

I have killed 3 of these, they are not easy. Once they dry out I find there is no hope
