The traditional plant lovers dilemma: Bought this beautiful fern on the weekend and trying to work out somewhere to position it. This spot gets late afternoon sun though the door curtains, but the base is mostly out of direct sun. Too much direct light?

Hi! I was at the pet store looking at aquarium plants and found the "borneo fern". I quickly googled it in the store, realized it's probably not great for my aquarium, but it was so lovely that I wanted to get it and figure it out.
I'm down to set up a terrarium, but I don't want this thing to die in the meantime. What’s the most basic setup I can do to keep it alive and healthy until I prepare for something cooler?
It volunteered itself. It doesn't look like any of the other ferns I've grown in terms of frond/pinnae structure. It has an immense root structure for its size, and all growth has stalled out in the past month or two.
just got this gorgeous plant and was wondering if anyone has any advice on how to care for her
Any idea what fern is this?
I’ve tried jack’s dead bug, neem oil, and ladybugs, (all separately) before which I trimmed off effected leaves each treatment. Nothing has eradicated them and they seem to come back with fervor each time. Any advice? Thanks in advance for any help!
Springtime is upon us and the ferns are starting to come to life. Tassle Fern and, I think, D. wallichiana.
Hello,
For one of my college courses we have to plan our own dream greenhouse/nursery. I'm specializing in ferns. All types of ferns!
I've been doing research and cannot find much information at all on whether ferns do well growing in rockwool or Coco coir. Specifically with irrigation lines set-up and programmed to ensure the ferns do not dry out. With nutrients added when they need to be fertilized. Based on their variety (and other factors).
Does anyone know about this? In large facilities where they specialize in ferns - what grow media do they use? Very difficult to find information.
I know it's a rabbits foot fern, she said it was 30 or more years old idk, so I added some fertilizer and it came back from basically nothing? I'm not usually good with ferns but I've just hung this one from a tree and I water it every once and a while/fertilize. Any other tips for me?
Hello, I would like to grow some ostrich Fern close to my patio in a mostly shaded with little afternoon sun. What should I keep in mind? Also, someone told me not to grow any ferns because they attract ticks. I'm in zone 7 and house is about 20 feet from the woods/trees/preserved area. TIA.
Hey. Found this after a storm growing from some bark that was knocked loose. Any idea what it might be?
i'm pretty new to lecanopteris. my small collection (pumila, celebica, holtumii) is growing well overall, however i have noticed a tendency for some of my ferns to grow away from the substrate (sphagnum moss) and 'lift off' essentially (most pronounced in my mounted holtumii). happens when mounted but to a lesser extent also when grown in a pot. anyone have any advice how to entice them to stay on the substrate?
