Please make a suggestion as to what is happening to my bird nest fern and how to fix it? The last picture is what it looked like 3 May 2025. Sitting high on the bookcase. The other 3 photos were taken today. Thanks 🌻 I have been using tap water to water all my plants.
I was gifted this fern (environment change) but some of the leaves are getting crunchy and browning🥲 Any suggestions?
Can anyone tell me if these look healthy? I bought 2 pots of staghead ferns. They didn’t look great but I was happy to get them. I divided one pot into two, plus mounted a third. And I was going to repot and divide the other cause it had a pup but the pup died. Now I’m worried. I’ve never had staghead ferns and I’m not real good with plants. But I’ve always wanted one. I really know very little about them. I’ve watched videos and read but I still feel awkward. I’ve moved them to where there is greater light and more air movement but my phone still says they aren’t getting enough light. I have a grow light I was using when in the other room. The bases got real dark and the frons were more limp. I did treat for mealy bugs right after we brought them home. The talk one had them the worst. I used alcohol and later treated them all with needs oil with soap and peppermint in the spray. They just look like they are dying to me. Not as green and lush as I expect. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
My first ever indoor fern is this beauty
My first fern! He’s so cute and adorable🥰 and he perked up nicely in his new space
Hello! Got this fern today hoping I could save it, but I'm pretty new to fern care. The ends of the leaves are browning a bit, as well as the bottom leaves seem to be turning yellow and/or dying off. Also, does it need a bigger pot? Any tips, trucks, or suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks!
So excited to add this to my collection, but a little nervous about taking care of him. Any suggestions? Tips?
The store gave up on this guy, got him out of the starter pot and fresh soil it’s been a week (guess could be in shock?) but doesn’t seem to be THRIVING yet … trying to save him! Any recommendations to help me save my Ferrny would be welcomed whole heartedly. Thank you Plant Parent Friends❣️
Can anybody tell me why my fern is shriveling? I’ve never had one before but thought they were okay with less light. I just moved him closer to a window, but idk if that’ll help and I’m clueless with ferns.
Got my rainbow Moss peacock fern a couple weeks ago she was so dry and sad I'm hoping her relieves grow back , it can't really tell but she is a lovely shade of purple blue and green right now 🪴🥰💕 I rinser leaves off with the filtered shower head everyday to soak
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 have a Boston fern that is… not doing well. It is definitely dehydrated. I used to neglect it until it became like this, and now I intend to rescue it from, whatever you call this. Is there anything tips or other issues that could increase the speed of recovery? Thx.
My plants keep doing weird things like this, is this normal or am I fertilizing too much?
Just started with my little southern maidenhair fern few days back. Hopeful for my first plant 😀
Help! I’m totally new to plants. I got a Boston fern. I’ve been watering it when the app tells me to. It’s in the pot it came in from the nursery- it looks like it’s a 10inch hanging plastic pot. The soil is moist. (Sticks to my fingers when i touch). Should I take it out of the pot and look at the roots? Do I re-pot into something larger? Also- Is it overwatered? I’ve had this under the awning on my front porch, it gets partial shade but mostly sun. We are in Texas.
Hi there! I’m new to caring for a fern and was hoping to get some information. I’ve noticed some extremely wiry, dry parts on the plant—they’re also quite sharp when cut. Are these old stems or roots? TIA!
Hello friends, got a quick question. Do cats love ferns? I have a male who eats it like candy and a female to has taken up residency underneath.
So I was wanting to buy t rainbow peacock fern, because I heard it can tolerate or even enjoy shade since I'm running out of Sunny spots LOL and plus I heard that it was a beautiful blue, this is the one my plant lady wants to sell me but it's not blue it's still the Fall colors, but we're in spring? When does it turn blue there's something wrong with it I'm just curious what your thoughts are before I purchase this or go find a blue one off Etsy 🥴😩🩷🪴
Not sure what it needs the center is dead 😕
Hii, I just bought a Boston Fern (Tiger) & was wondering how to increase humidity without placing it in a bathroom !! I have a mister atm and was wondering if that would work and if so how often should I mist it !!! 🫶🏼
