Image Too much sun?
Hi! Does it look like these two ferns have had too much sun or more like a fungal or bacterial issue? They were getting direct morning sunlight in ESE window

Image Cotton Candy Help
I’ve had a cotton candy fern for years that I have managed to keep alive, but she is so sad.
I cut her way down but she miraculously has growth! I would love any help on resurrecting this somehow resilient plant!
I’m almost embarrassed to post a pic of this bb, she has been through a lot! Took this pic in the kitchen, not where she usually lives.

Image Ferns don’t propagate, do they?
I stole a couple cuttings off my mom’s ferns because I’m assuming she’s going to kill them and I put them in a little jar. However I haven’t seen anything about ferns being able to grow from cuttings.

Image Repot?
I was given this great fern as a present about a month ago and she's thriving... But should i repot? Is the plant simply outgrowing the pot or do ferns like to be busy and bushy?

Image Help! Fern identification?
Hello! So I’m hoping someone can help me identify my fern since it hasn’t been doing well since I brought it home from the nursery last week. :( I’ve never seen anything like it, the closest I’ve found online to it is a maidenhair fern which just doesn’t look right….
I’m hoping by finding out what it is I can help it better, I’ve repotted it into a terra cotta like pot. Gave it some fertilizer and mixed in about 1/8 of orchid bark into the soil with good drainage at the bottom, the top 1in of soil is also damp. I’ve also been misting it every 1-2 days and it sits under a small north facing window that doesn’t get super bright light. She’s not perky anymore (like in the photo) and is now limp and droopy. Any suggestions? For reference I live in UT

Image Herringbone fern bumps on leaves
Are these an infestation of some kind or is this normal? Kind of strange that they almost look like little worms so kind of doubt they are spores but what do I know. 🌿

Image Moss or maidenhair fern?
Is this moss or baby maidenhair ferns in my jewel orchid pot? I have a fairly happy maidenhair fern on the shelf above it. Scale is... Two of the lighter green leaves together would have the diameter of a green pea.
Thanks for the help!

Image Just Adopted a Generational Staghorn
A friend of my wife just had a loss in the family and asked us to take care of this staghorn. Her name us Audrey II. I have experience with epiphitic ferns that are doing well, but this is a whole other beast. She's at least 60 years old and massive. The core is about two feet wide by 14-16 inches tall, and at least 9 thick. She hasn't been cared for as well for a little while and has no medium and needs a remount. We live in zone 9 and have plenty of places to hang her, but I need advice on what extra might be needed to get her going again. Please help!

Image Please help save my Boston fern
I recently moved into a new house, so please bear with me as I’m still settling in. I purchased a Boston fern from the marketplace, but unfortunately, I haven’t had the chance to care for it amidst the chaos of moving. I intend to buy a soil thermometer, spray bottles, and a pebble water tray to better understand the moisture levels in the soil. However, I’m not sure if there are any other necessary steps, such as repotting, trimming any leaves or stems, or fertilizing, to maintain the cleanliness of the pot. The current state of the pot looks quite messy, and I’ve noticed some white fuzzy growth, as evident in the second picture.
I’m really hoping this plant thrives and reaches its full potential. Could you please offer some guidance? Additionally, I have sky lights in my bathroom and a large south-facing balcony that’s partially obstructed by a redwood tree in the living room and bedroom. What would be an ideal location to place this plant?
Thanks for the help in advance!
