So I’ve tried looking this up but I don’t get the results I want. I assume this is normal I’ve just never seen this before. What is happening and why?

My bird's nest fern recently endured some hardships. Moved to a new home with less ideal conditions, was absolutely pot bound and then roughly repotted 🥴 She's a trooper and I hope to see it make a comeback with big leaves again!

One months difference after repotting and being given space in premium east facing light. She’s extremely happy now.

I found this gorgeous fern at a garden centre yesterday. The apps don’t seem to have it stored as a plant. Scientific name: ARACHNOIDES ARISTATA Variegata Common name: Variegated East Indian Holly Fern Do you like it?

Hello everyone! I need some advice. I got this fern about a month ago and the 1st week my lovely cat chewed it up. And then after I watered it the water wouldn’t go away causing water logged roots. I’ve done a repot but it seems to only get worse and worse. I have a humidifier to help it and I try to have it on max 4 hours a day. The little jar in the pot also has water to help with humidity. The roots were trimmed during the last repot but what can I do to save this guy? Or is it a lost cause? Any advice will help. Thank you!!

I recently got a Staghorn Fern and some Foxtail Ferns from my local nursery. Any tips for any/both of those. The Foxtail Ferns are outside and the Staghorn is inside.

My deer fern is getting all droopy! What’s wrong? I put it in the shade yesterday as advised, was that bad? Is it having a late reaction to being in indirect sunlight? Idk! Help!

My tree fern has been in this pot for about a year and really taken off this year. Any suggestions about the best time to repot?

My foxtail fern has a new rapidly growing frond (or 2) - much taller than the original ones it had when I bought it. Question: Are the new ones “leggy” and reaching for more light or is it okay as is (I.e., sufficient light situation as is) ? Thanks!

Asparagus Fern has been in my garden for about 3 years now.. I read how sensitive they are to sunlight, but she’s loving the part sun part shade. What do my Fern Friends think? Or maybe it’s not an Asparagus Fern? lol

Peter’s soil is teaming with life, but it’s gnats.

What do people think is causing this brown papery death on parts of my crispy wave fern? I’ve considered humidity and hard water issues and made improvements on both. Should I be worried about mildew or fungal causes?

Hi all! My previously happy fern is now developing the bright yellow leaves that fall off easily. Any ideas on cause or changes I can make to prevent this? I only water this when the soil is dry and have kept it by the window for light Thank you!!
