Blue oil fern is back in stock in Australia

I bought this for $2 at walmart thinking it just needed some love. After I started taking some of the dead stuff out I realized it was in worse shape than I had thought. What do you all think?

Can you plant Australian tree ferns in an in ground planter bed as an accent plant and limit its size, or will it grow too big over time?

Aglaomorpha quercifolia 

This little plant was desicating on a  shelf in my grocery store. She's retablishing slowly. 
 I spend an more than an hour searching for it's name without big sucess. 
All I could find led me toward  "athyrium spicatum" or a polystichum.  
But none of the picture I find online really  look like this one. The edge of the fronds are rounder and the foliage is not as lushy. It's more a kind of Boston Fern type lush.
Do someone have a clue?

Asparagus fern bloom

First, I want to thank everyone that commented on my last post. I haven't answered to everyone but reading you as been a insightful.

The big fronds are curling up and darkening. I've been watering morning and night in my shower rainy style, brought the humidity around the plant up to 70% and everyday she withering away. I did gave it extremely diluted liquid fertilizer, I wonder if I fucked up.

Should I organize a prayer circle for my fern or is she just extremely slow at getting better?

This popped up as a small green shoot in one of my hanging baskets, so I potted it up to see what it was a while back. 

When I saw how the leaves unfurl I thought it must be a fern? it seems to have spores on the underside of the leaves as well. 

Can anyone ID it? I've scrolled through lots of google images but cant find one similar.

Fern ID?

I believe it is a type of Staghorn,  maybe? I got her last year to see how she would do in an ikea cabinet and she just loves it.

I observed this fern growing in the Allegheny National Forest in late June 2024. Is this typical growth or a rarity?

Siamese fern? 

I just got a baby maidenhair fern again (I know, I’m in for it) and I’m trying to get the lighting right. They need low to medium indirect light. This is a bright window but the sun never hits it directly, it also has privacy glass since it’s a bathroom. Do you think it’s alright for this delicate fern? 

Any advice welcome.

Fern rescue!

This is a dicksonia antartica I got about a month ago. It was doing really well until a recent heat wave that lasted 3 days during which I wasn't around to water. Only the oldest leaves are dry, the rest looks healthy. Is it due to aging or poor conditions?

Dry leaves on tree fern

Heyy guys! I'm an asplenium enthusiast, but recently I have been having some issues with my plant. Those little balls just appered. In the beggining I thought they were spores, but now, not sure anymore. Has anyone ever experienced those?

Hey folks, is this a harts tongue fern? I found it growing in a very tight crack on a wall near a river in the UK. I was wondering can I propagate it or take it as it is and would it grown in a jar with water?
Thanks in advance.

Hart’s tongue??

I have a 2inch rabbits foot fern and I am totally new to this plant. When it comes time to repot, do I need to be careful to not burry the fuzzy rhizomes, or does that not matter? I know they grow over the pot all the time. I think it’s such a cool plant and I’m just not sure how to handle it but I’m excited to grow it.

Mistery fern that popped up in my orchid terrarium

Growing this in diverse media to raise my chances at success, but I’m curious about using shallow orchid baskets with cork chunks/coarse bark/sphagnum or even soil to encourage basket fronds and a more typical growing form.
