I struggle to keep ANY alive for long....button, autumn, birds nest, Boston, crocodile..etc. I do my best to follow tasks, keep soil damp, mist them, they have drainage...but they all seem to dry up bit by bit until there's nothing left. Is it just too dry here? Do I need to keep them in greenhouses? Not ready to give up on trying but I need help. Also struggling with keeping a medium palm in a corner of a dining room by a window \& beardie terrarium. TIA! ## 18件のコメント ### Wolfen 🐺さんが2024-12-03にコメントしました It's SO dry there. I have this knowledge only from visiting.. but i ended up literally smothered in lotion 😆 🤣 I would try a greenhouse or some kinda cloche ### Ji11さんが2024-12-03にコメントしました If you have a gauge I try to keep humidity between 50-60% especially for ferns #### Wolfen 🐺さんが2024-12-03に返信しました 50-60 is pretty low for most ferns, and tropicals. That's like regular house humidity. Especially Boston prefer at least 75-85%. #### Ji11さんが2024-12-03に返信しました I’d have mold growing in my house if I kept the humidity that high lol #### Wolfen 🐺さんが2024-12-03に返信しました Which is why mine are in the greenhouse or Terry 😆 🤣 the tiger Boston came browning, and the houses 58% humidity wasn't cutting it. Popped it into the greenhouse and a few weeks later it's got new growth. #### Ji11さんが2024-12-03に返信しました Oh, you have a greenhouse.. nice 👍 #### Wolfen 🐺さんが2024-12-04に返信しました Yes, cuz I have humid loving plants. Dont want to mist all day And don't choose to live in a sauna to meet their needs lol. _アプリに返信が1件届いています。_ ### BotanicalBookworm\_13さんが2024-12-03にコメントしました As a native, I’ve noticed that if you keep them in a bathroom where you have hot showers that helps, so it’s not always humid but for about 20min-1hour it stays humid for your fern! If not I agree with the greenhouse idea. #### Krissiさんが2024-12-03に返信しました I wish my bathroom had windows so I could have some plants in there. 😔 Hopefully when we move I can make that happen.🤞🏼 #### BotanicalBookworm\_13さんが2024-12-03に返信しました If you want to go full crazy plant lady you can give it a personal grow light #### Krissiさんが2024-12-03に返信しました True... 🤔 Lol. #### Wolfen 🐺さんが2024-12-04に返信しました Or just bring the fern along for the shower 😆 #### Alyssaさんが2024-12-04に返信しました Haha, should buy the fern a little loofa and shower cap just for cutesy effect lol _アプリでさらに3件の返信を見る_ ### Krissiさんが2024-12-03にコメントしました Thank you guys!
