Let hope for a miracle 🤣 #### Dave\_opuntiaface님이 2025-02-05에 답변했습니다. lol #### Lynda님이 2025-02-05에 답변했습니다. Just make sure your fern is frequently watered. I have a large one, and I water it every four or five days. Before I will water, the plant will still feel heavy when I pick it up, and the soil still feels damp, but a water meter well help show you when she’s just moist, not wet, and needs to be watered. So beware… keep your fern well watered and it will stay happy and beautiful! PS. I’ve had this fern for a couple years,. She’s doing quite well, as you can see… 🤩! ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/ogsS0GJIvWBzx7CvItnCsicGb0YTD2umkWf-CRAbvzU/xa-338APQf6v64F7WonWOw.webp?size=large) ### Kades님이 2025-02-05에 댓글을 남겼어요. Peace lily and fern lots of humidity and water! I only water my peace lily and my spider plants with distilled or rain water. They do not like my tap. I converted my peace lily to hydroponic and it’s the best thing I’ve ever done… #### Lynda님이 2025-02-05에 답변했습니다. Can you tell me a bit more about using a hydroponic medium for plants? I haven’t used this method before, but I’m seriously considering experimenting with one plant… just to see how it goes. TIA! #### Kades님이 2025-02-05에 답변했습니다. My lily is actually in full hydroponic so she’s in a vase at the moment. I use rainwater (bc Oregon never stops raining) or distilled. I add a teeny bit of superthrive and some light fertilizer! I’ve tried a few plants in hydro and have had better luck with some species ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/2dvZ_5A_7vsoNrC5ussMCoDg3zG2-CETUIZaHjm2mMY/_kkKQGRASIeDvZmaLBKOYg.webp?size=large) #### Lynda님이 2025-02-10에 답변했습니다. I know this is asking a lot, but what can you tell me about hydroponic watering? Any particular YouTube videos you think are especially good regarding the subject? TIA! #### Lynda님이 2025-02-10에 답변했습니다. Which plant species do you have the best luck with this hydroponic watering method? TIA! #### Kades님이 2025-02-10에 답변했습니다. I haven’t watched much yt about it but my process is basically rinse off all the potting medium off the roots. Make sure the roots don’t have any mushiness bc the water will make it worse. I just plop them in a vase and fill it up to cover all the roots will trying to keep the plant itself above the water line (they sell specific pots and things to keep your plant in the right spot) I usually have a decent adjustment period and lose a few roots at the beginning. Water roots will start emerging. You may lose some leaves too. _앱에 답글이 1개 더 있습니다._ ### Wolfen 🐺님이 2025-02-05에 댓글을 남겼어요. Mist the fern!!! Daily. The make-up continuous misters are great. #### Wolfen 🐺님이 2025-02-05에 답변했습니다. I don't know why it corrected to cactus lol #### Lynda님이 2025-02-10에 답변했습니다. Caught’cha… 😉! So what is a make up continuous mister? TIA! #### Wolfen 🐺님이 2025-02-10에 답변했습니다. These are continuous misters. Instead of just 1 spray of water when you pull the trigger, it sprays for a little while. And the mist is super fine ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/LABcXOiTFudmBUCsau2S0dZnnxDdeMAvwSHhNs7sG2k/uN0iAm3sQF6kBoo-EoRjJg.webp?size=large) ### Ezzeldin Yaqoub님이 2025-02-06에 댓글을 남겼어요.
