I recommend removing the material off the soil to allow the soil to dry out. Slow drying soil could lead to root rot and fungus gnats. 🍀🪴

These guys need a TON of humidity. I would recommend putting it in some kind of container (terrarium,cloche, big jar) if you really want it to survive. Never let the soil dry completely, but don’t make it soggy.

I have a humidifier in the room ~50% humidity. Is that enough?

I know NOTHING about ferns... Just here to gush! She's GORGEOUS 😍 💖 BTW, I live in Palm DESERT 🏜 🤣 I know dry climate... Some of my plants 🪴 I mist EVERY morning Just about everyone except my Violets and philodendron get misted and they are doing wonderful. I also have 4 LARGE essential oil diffusers, mostly water. 😊😉 Everyone is thriving ✨️ mostly. Good luck! Gorgeous fern!🤩

I love Maidenhair plants but never had any luck in growing them both died off 😔 they are very pretty but extremely finicky, I would love to try and grow one again. Good luck in growing yours 🍀🤞🏽

There is a guy on YouTube who can help it called House Plant Journal he talks about Maidenhairs and how to take care of them I found his channel after mine died

Thanks for the recommendation! I'll definitely check it out

That is a mother fern or austral gem fern. Not as delicate as maidenhair, but still needs high humidity. I keep mine in a pebble tray and mist twice a week.

Thanks! That does look a lot more like my actual plant!
