# I found these bumps on the bottom of some of my maidenhair ferns…

_Posted by Saarah Aamilah on 2023-10-08_

I found these bumps on the bottom of some of my maidenhair ferns leaves. Should I be concerned? Is this normal? The other leaves don’t have this and I don’t remember those being on it before. If it’s a pest I want to know asap so I can remove the leaves and treat it! Otherwise this plant is super healthy:)

I don’t own any ferns myself, but I’m willing to be they are spores! You may want to google them to confirm

Tanya is right, definitely spores :)

I think those are Sori, a large collection of spores that is seen in some ferns
