Would anyone know what’s wrong with my plant? Is it sick or just underwatered? Usually the leaves are bright green but they are kind of white ish right now.

This looks like an underwatered maiden hair fern, they like to be pretty moist most of the time. It’s most likely not getting enough water, maybe do some research on the water needs and increase watering or plant it in a self-watering pot :)

#### Kam svarede den 2025-05-01

Ok perfect! If I keep watering it will it recover?

#### PlantMum svarede den 2025-05-01

Most likely, unless there is something else wrong with it. Just be careful about overwatering, you don’t want it to rot, water-loving plants are tricky sometimes

Hi there, do you see any tiny webbing on any of the leaves? Or any tiny white specs? The spotting on the leaves looks like this plant has a spider mite infestation :(

#### Kam svarede den 2025-05-02

It does have white spots. How would I treat it?

#### Bb svarede den 2025-05-02

I usually wash all of the leaves. Then apply a pesticide. For a spider mites infestation I use 1 tbsp of liquid castille soap (like Dr Bronners) mixed in about a gallon/4 litres of water. I spray the plant down every 3 days. The plant should be isolated from other plants because if it’s spider mites they will happily move onto other healthy plants. It’s painful but I keep this routine going for 3 weeks.

By the way do you have a photo of what the plant used to look like when it was healthy?

Is there drainage? That was my very first thought.
