ID please?

Can anyone ID?

I just got a new job and I want to make my office space feel a bit more natural and i thought a few plants would really help. I have some house plants at my home but I thought a fern would be nice for my office as I don't have one at my house. Any suggestions on easier ferns or ones that do well with a bit less natural light? I do have a window but it doesn't give a ton. Thanks for any advice

Good office ferns?

My fern is sprouting from it's leaves.
What should I do with them? Plant them? Keep them on the plant and then what happens?
I rescued this fern a year ago and it's thriving but I am a bit lost, my other ferns don't do this. Thanks!

Leaf sprouts. What to do?

I was a bit worried when I got these that they might not get enough light in my hallway. But it's been a month and these little buds have started to form. Does this mean that they're doing okay? 

FYI, that's a West facing window in the one photo, and I water about every 1.5 weeks.

Can anybody ID this fern? Bought it on clearance six months ago not expecting it to survive but it’s growing fast!

So I have a closed terrarium and my Maidenhair Fern started to mold but it is alive will the mold kill the plant?

These ferns have grown a lot in the 6 years I’ve been in this house. They were here when I moved in but very small. Not sure what they are though.

anyone have it? im looking for a little one or spores to sell or share please!

thanks.    
any information is appreciated

blechnum cycadifolium

Little fern forest popped up next to my deck. I assume the previous owners planted some, but I don’t know that for sure.

Left fern is variegated leatherleaf, middle is ghost fern, no idea about the one on the right. It's a winter hardy fern rescued from a hungry gopher. This is their first year of good growth!

A trio of pretty ferns.

I’d like to get more. The tallest frond is about 4 feet. It’s perennial in NYC suburbs. I spilt these off and transplanted them a few days ago but am wondering if I need to worry about male vs female if i want them to spread

Do you know type of fern this is?

New here; I hope this question is okay. This is what was marketed a rabbit foot’s fern.. I repotted it in a mix of regular potting mix plus some overflow from orchid medium (cork bark mainly). She is struggling. I’d like to help her struggle less. Having trouble finding direct advice online as to the makeup of potting medium. 

Please; if anyone could advise—- I’d be so grateful. I currently own general potting mix; Monterey bark, sphagnum moss, and perlite. Willing to purchase other medium if needed. 

It seems the root system is taken in the bit of soil there that isolated. Not sure it’s good to try to take it away from that medium. Thank you again in advance for any thoughts (date written in the pot was when I put this fellow in this pot in this situation).   Thanks again

Rabbit foot fern… bad mom.. pls help :/

I just reported this fern I got from Walmart now too long ago does it look to be doing okay? Any tips?

My first fern is dying a horrible death and I don’t know what to do, followed the tag and gave it very very light sun and kept it moist and it still just wants to die. Please help before it’s too late

Mounted it 2 weeks ago, been soaking twice a week and misting the leaves but she keeps dropping and browning?

Why is my stag horn fern drooping?

Are these aerial roots or is there a problem? My first fern!

Just bought this. The guy didn't know the species. Any idea?

A distinctive character of Cinnamon fern, Osmundastrum cinnamomeum, is the white tuft, seen at the junction of the rachis (stem) and costa (side stem holding pinna).

Cinnamon Fern

I have two quastions:

I spotted this mold-looking patch of white fur in my propagation dish. The Petri dishes and substrate were sterilized in a preasure cooker before I sowed the spore. Should I open it to try and remove it? 

The spore I sowed was collected last year. It was stored in an Eppendorf vial at room temperature in a dark spot. Is it even still viable? (it's dryopteris filix-mas, if that makes a difference)

Does anyone know where I can buy Lophosoria Quadripinnata in the UK?

Tranquil Fern Garden

A beautiful fern garden in Belgium

I saw this picture of this hanging rabbit foot fern and I really liked it so I did it. Now it’s slowly taking over the kokedama.

I bought two Boston ferns on clearance for $3.75 at Kroger. They're a little shabby looking and had a lot of dead and broken fronds on them. I trimmed them up and they look decent now. They do have new growth coming up. There are roots and fronds literally growing out of the bottom of the pots, lol. 
Fern number one is the smaller one, but the one that head the least amount of broken fronds. 
What else can I do to make them grow well? I know I need bigger hanging baskets. Any recommendations on where and what to get? Preferably something that won't break the bank, but will hold up.
