Thought all my fern lovers would enjoy my new fern wall! I also made my own moss balls! Soil/manure mixture and wrapped in sphagnum moss with wire

My first staghorn fern 😍 I mounted it to the board with sphagnum moss. I water it once a week and mist it once a week. The app says to water every two weeks but I’ve seen it dry out and droop in a week with no water. Any advice appreciated

Just wondering if you can take like a leaf of a fern and propagate it?

Hi Fern Friends, Does this look like a Japanese holly fern to you? That’s the closest ID the greenhouse employees and I came up with. The tag isn’t specific. I’ve tagged my confirmed JHF for comparison. This new plant’s leaves are much softer/fleshier than mine, but that may be because they’re not as mature?

Any tips on my fern? I've removed all the dried brown leaves, I've moved her from kitchen to bathroom to see if that help. Her pot has drains and I've been watering, misting and feeding per the app 🙈 and I'm still getting brown dry patches..

Hi everyone! I have a birds nest fern and I thought it was doing well except the past few weeks I have noticed these small spots on only 3 leaves. All three leaves are right next to each other. Any ideas? Two of the leaves feel kinda waxy and are almost translucent. All other leaves are fine. I’m not sure what to do to help my fern

Gus, my asparaGUS fern has earned a reputation in my household for being quite the character. He had been climbing on the string of my blinds for ages, but this became a problem because I’m moving soon! Well, now he’s on a trellis, looking stunning, and ready to move!

Should I trim off all the curled up leaves and let these new leaves flourish and regrow? I’m just scared I’ll kill it if I do as that is what happened to my last one when I did. Thoughts? Many thanks

hi! this is my first fern and this may be a stupid question but i was just wondering what these little bulbs at the end are? are they a good sign that it’s growing or something bad?

One cretan is crispy dry and the one next to it looks happy. Is on one on the left salvagable?

We have Boston ferns that we bring in for the winter and some are doing better than others. Between my husband and I we could have treated them better. There is a lot of brown and dead twigs in the middle of some of them and I am hoping to get them looking much better before we put them outside when the weather warms up. Any suggestions? TIA

Been having some issues lately with my foxtail fern getting the branches to be real bushy. Any ideas?

My fern has splits in the middle of the stem. Should i keep it or cut it off? Also how do we keep it upright so it can stay flourished instead of downed. We’ve been watering it regularly but it seems like it’s not flourished as we got it. Any suggestions?

Hello! This is my first fern. I noticed it seems to grow up instead of out and the inside of the plant looks completely dead. Also there’s some white stuff? Any tips?
