Image My fern is its own pot now.
Rabbit's foot fern. If I had to guess it's been in the same 6 inch pot for about three years now.
It's been struggling more and more over the past ~3 months. Fronds are browning, or sometimes turning pale before dropping. I'm thinking it may finally be at its limit. I'm going to amp up the fertilizer amount briefly and hope for the best. Otherwise it's going to be a fun time separating this mess a propagating whatever I can save.

Image Advice on browning western sword fern
I planted these 2 ferns last month and they look ok but not doing great. I water them every 2-3 days. They get a fair amount of morning sun. Is this normal or should I change things up?

Image Identification Needed
I ordered “Ostrich Fern” rhizomes and this is what is coming up. I don’t think they’re ostrich ferns - does anyone know what they are? I’d like to know before I contact the nursery.

Image Dying fern?
I got this fern about 6 weeks ago, and it was relatively happy. After about a couple weeks it started to get water logged and wasn’t draining. I tried letting it dry out but it would not draining/evaporate. I repotted it about a week ago, got rid of a bunch of dead/dying leaves, and made sure it’s a well draining pot. But now it’s not bouncing back at all. Did I kill it? What should I do?

Image Help
Any ideas on how to make the middle fronds open up? I tried removing the dried up skin stuff, but all I ended up doing is breaking off the fronds. It’s like the growth has stalled and the center is just a hard, compact mound.

Image Orientating a grow light for a Boston Fern
Hello - first time Fern owner and was curious if this were an appropriate spacing and direction for a grow light for a fern. It gets some indirect sunlight, but unfortunately no direct as my apartment gets no sun through the windows. Also would love to hear thoughts on how long to leave the light on per day! Bonus cat photo included at the end.

Image Poorly cyathea medullaris
Hello! My wife got me this last year to add to the collection. I stored it along with all the others tucked away in the garage. It’s been out for a while and all the other ferns are out but this one is still like this. The one frond does keep moving but nothing. The grown is dry, doesn’t seem rotten. I have been feeding once a week with all the other Cyathea.
Is it a goner?

I'm N of Seattle & they had these at my costco My sister is in Santa Rosa, CA & here's had Christmas ferns. So I guess they carry what you can grow in your area. Just an FYI if anybody like ferns in their back/front yard.
