I see this type of fern everywhere and recently got a plant - not looking great at the moment, but, what is this type of fern called?

So basically, I've had my ostrich fern for over a month and thought it was growing because one of the three bulbs planted sprouted 2 fronds. fast forward to now, i got concerned because nothing has sprouted since those 2 fronds. So i go outside and take the bulbs out to uncompact the dirt because it was almost saturated because of its frequent watering. As I pulled each bulb out saw that they literally shrank and didn't even grow rOots. The roots they had were the same as when got them. Is fact, one bulb had really short roots. No sprouts no growth nothing. So as of now i fluffed the dirt, replanted, and put outside to dry. What do you guys think made it stop. I watered pretty frequently with a spray bottle, and water would leak out quickly. It receivesa mix of north window light, and a grow light. It's soil is mixed with worm castings and a bit of sand for drainage. I've had it since early March.

I planted some western sword fern in the garden over winter (zone 9). They have new fronds coming in now. They are relatively small plants. I ordered them online. Do they continously sprout new fronds through the growing season or is it typically one new batch of fronds each year?

Hi. I found this fern at a local nursery. It is only labeled as a Pteris species, but which one could it be?

Can mi tree fern regrowth?

Hi, recently I founded my tree fern trunk in a state of rottenness. I cut off all the rotten parts and I left the roots in the substrate. I would like to know if there is any chance that the plant will resprout.

Last year I finally got my Dicksonias etc out of pots and into the ground. They loved it, rewarding me with plentiful and bigger fronds. Now it's spring and I can't wait to see what they do. . I love this time of year.

I have a large bird's nest fern I purchased from Home Depot that I've rinsed thoroughly and would like to put in my crested gecko's enclosure. The humidity is 60%+ most of the time and the soil is not typically too damp or moist, I may drench it once a month or once every couple of months.

The soil is well draining and fluffy with lots of organic added in - sphagnum moss, coconut husk chunks, orchid/for bark, coconut coir, miscellaneous leaf litter, a bit of organic topsoil. The soil is absolutely chock full of springtails and I haven't added isopods yet.

I would like tips on how to keep the fern healthy - is it ok to plant it directly into the soil? I read somewhere that some ferns are epiphytes and I'm not sure if this guy counts.

Also, can a birds nest fern handle being misted 1-2 times daily?

Hey all,

We planted these autumn ferns about two months ago (zone 8a, North Carolina). Not sure if this is normal, as it’s our first time growing ferns.

Got these from the nursery based on their recommendation. They said they’re the best adapted to our region.

Looks like there’s new growth, but some of the fiddleheads also look fried.

Currently, they’re getting Sun from around 7:30am-3:30pm.

Are these still adjusting to their new home or should we be concerned?

Thanks!

I got this fern from my brother, he obviously didn’t take great care of it lol. I don’t know much about ferns but is there any way to save this guy? Is there any way to propagate a fern?

I went out of Town for about 3 days. The senate received was just through my north-facing window. I Slightly moistenes the soil before leaving. What's wrong with it. Tips of the leaves have dried out a bit and become a tiny bit floppy, plant overall has wilted.fiddleheads have come out well but the grown out the fronts wilted.

Hello, I just picked up my first fern, its a Golden Zebra Fern. I have no idea about the care for it. Any tips on watering, soil, fertilizer, or any other kind of help is really appreciated. Thanks!

Purchase this outdoor fern last year and the seller did not know what it was other than “fern.” Would also love to know if it’s native to North America. Thanks!

Hi there! I just set up a terrarium with a silver lace fern and lemon button fern, and I'm wondering what level of light I should have? It'll be all artificial lighting. At the moment my light is about 2000 lux (or 250 FC) on the tallest silver lace frond, which doesn't seem like much compared to what succulents and other plants need. What's an ideal range to aim for?
