Anyone ever have ferns sprout from a moss pole? Did you keep them? How? These little guys are adorable but I don't know what to do with them

I bought this 4” Maidenhair fern two weeks ago from a local nursery. It’s struggling but I’m determined to baby it! While watering yesterday, I noticed it’s planted in a fabric pod thingy. Should I repot it and remove it from this fabric thing?

Hiya! Would love to hear tips from others re KANGAROO PAW FERN. Where do you keep yours? Sun? Water? Temp? How do you display it?

I just got this Boston fern a few weeks ago, however I live in Alaska and it’s currently -50°f right now, so the 4 hour drive home (in the heated car) kinda froze it. I’m still watering it currently and I have it next to the stove, any tips on how to revive my baby??🥺

Hey! This is my first fern any tips on how to help it grow?🤔 Also does anybody know what type of fern this is because i bought it at a grocery store 'cause they were gonna get rid of it and it didn't say what it was. I've tried image searching it but I'm getting various answers.🤷‍♀️

A couple of my plants have gotten infested by thrips/aphids recently so I've been vigilant about pest checks and prevention. Checked on my black rabbit foot fern this morning and started freaking out thinking he'd gotten thrips due to all the white specks on its new fronds. Turns out he's just happy and putting out tons of new growth, and the white specks are pieces of fuzz from the rhizome!! I just couldn't see any of the new growth up close until now LOL Also, if anyone else has a rabbit foot fern, do you trim growth off the lower part of the rhizome to keep it visible or just let the plant go crazy?

Is anyone able to tell me which way my staghorn fern should be facing up when I mount it? I have watched so many YouTube videos and now I'm completely stressed out that I'm going to put it upsidedown. please help 💔

Just wanted to share a little story about the journey of this teeny weeny maidenhair cutting. I started this tiny cutting in water in Aug - it’s the mouldy stem in the little stein-shaped shot glass. In September I decided to repot it into LECA. I figured my other mature ferns transitioned fairly quickly so this little nub with its tiny roots might as well. Fast forward to 10 days ago and I saw it had its first shoot! And today, we have a second shoot and some leaves too! I love ferns so much! 😍😍😍

Got this plant from Lowe’s and it’s labeled fern. Do we know a way to tell what type or variety of birds nest fern it is? Please and thanks!

Does anyone have one of these ferns (“Heart leaf fern”) and any tips on how to care for them? I’m considering getting one. Thanks in advance

I have a question about watering: Most of my plants I let get pretty dry before watering, but what do y’all do with ferns? Do you water when the soil is still a little damp? My ferns are a blue oil, bird’s nest, and crocodile.

Hi! I have this fern (that turns out might not be a fern) that is sprouting flowers. I moved it to a sunnier location about two months ago and it has completely taken off for growth and I noticed these little guys on the end of one of its older ones. Does anyone know if this is normal? Does anyone know what kind of plant this is?
