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! ## 18개의 댓글 ### Wolfen 🐺님이 2024-12-03에 댓글을 남겼어요. 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 ### Ji11님이 2024-12-03에 댓글을 남겼어요. If you have a gauge I try to keep humidity between 50-60% especially for ferns #### Wolfen 🐺님이 2024-12-03에 답변했습니다. 50-60 is pretty low for most ferns, and tropicals. That's like regular house humidity. Especially Boston prefer at least 75-85%. #### Ji11님이 2024-12-03에 답변했습니다. I’d have mold growing in my house if I kept the humidity that high lol #### Wolfen 🐺님이 2024-12-03에 답변했습니다. 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. #### Ji11님이 2024-12-03에 답변했습니다. Oh, you have a greenhouse.. nice 👍 #### Wolfen 🐺님이 2024-12-04에 답변했습니다. 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. _앱에 답글이 1개 더 있습니다._ ### BotanicalBookworm\_13님이 2024-12-03에 댓글을 남겼어요. 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. #### Krissi님이 2024-12-03에 답변했습니다. I wish my bathroom had windows so I could have some plants in there. 😔 Hopefully when we move I can make that happen.🤞🏼 #### BotanicalBookworm\_13님이 2024-12-03에 답변했습니다. If you want to go full crazy plant lady you can give it a personal grow light #### Krissi님이 2024-12-03에 답변했습니다. True... 🤔 Lol. #### Wolfen 🐺님이 2024-12-04에 답변했습니다. Or just bring the fern along for the shower 😆 #### Alyssa님이 2024-12-04에 답변했습니다. Haha, should buy the fern a little loofa and shower cap just for cutesy effect lol _앱에서 3개의 답글 더 보기_ ### Krissi님이 2024-12-03에 댓글을 남겼어요. Thank you guys!
