# I just got these two ferns from my agricultural department at my high…

_Posted by ✨🌿Zoey🌿✨ on 2025-04-14_

I just got these two ferns from my agricultural department at my high school but they never watered it, never took any kind of care of it and when I got them they both where laying on their sides. I trimmed off anything that was frail and brown and trimmed off parts of the brown that were on the green leaves. I was just hoping someone or anyone can give me advice on how to take steps forward to maintain the ferns and to look out for anything that might happen. I have another fern that I take care of but is a different species of fern. So I know to drain the water when watering it and that they LOVE water. I just don’t know if there is anything special I should do while trying to revive it. Any help is appreciated!!  
P.S. I water them today as soon as I was done trimming them!

I water mine every few days by filling a pot with water and letting them soak for about half an hour. I then let drain before putting back in my living room window.

Ok thank you!! I was honestly thinking of trying that! If it helps you I think I’ll go ahead and try it! Tysm!
