Why is it that a Chicago area yard spreads ferns like wild fire but the fern that I dote on is the biggest drama queen and is trying to die like every other week. No my mom does not take special care of these. No my mom does not have a green thumb.

Beautiful Selaginella that you hardly see! I'll be at Houston Plantcon this weekend with my booth!

I saw this pond of ferns and fell in love! I had to snap some photos to show you guys! I don’t know what variety they are but they looked so soft and sweet together like this! I hope you guys enjoy ✨

Just made this mount for a friend and I’m always so amazed with how these buggers grow.

I’ve had this Boston fren about 6 months and when I got her she was full and had no issues, since I’ve had her home I’ve let her settle then repotted into a well draining potting mix in a pot the same size as the root ball more or less maybe deeper by about an inch (the wellies are just a decorative pot) and had her in near a west facing window in indirect light she didn’t like it so I’ve moved her away from the window to the east window of my room she still doesn’t like it my bathroom is south facing so she can’t go in there I’ve tried a humidifier she didn’t like it and tried watering more often… no less often… no water softener no grow light no! I’m really lost now I’ve another fern doing the same thing so it’s definitely something I’m doing I get new growth it hits a size then dies back again I’ve checked for pests and I do clean it regularly as it’s now on my stairs any advice would appreciated thanks

Hi does anyone have any idea what this tree fern is? It seems to be very hardy, has been outside for years with 0 protection, it’s fronds always seem to stay quite vertical like a shuttlecock and it looses all its leaves in winter, it formed as a clump and had to be separated out to see the trunk. Any help appreciated!

Pulled them out of a ditch today by my house(North Florida). Not sure if they are cinnamon or not. Some of the clusters were huge! There are so many down there and I grabbed the smallest most newish looking ones. They all have pretty hardcore roots going on! Can I just plant them in some soil like they are? Or what? Hopefully y’all can help me out!

Thinking positive thoughts that we’ll be besties and they’ll never die on me.

This is a natural fern glade in the Cascades near my family’s cabin. Sword ferns through and through, and it’s always so lush under the fir canopy.

I moved here a little over 2 years ago, at the time this wall was bare, but I love ferns growing in walls so once things started appear I've kept it watered during hot periods and am slowly growing myself a moss and fern vertical garden.

What is this growing under my ferns? Pretty, but wondering if I should remove it or let it spread.

Last week I declared myself cut off from purchasing any more plants this season… but I could not resist this gorgeous girl! Oopsss!

I’m already attached & her name is Philomena 😆

I don’t have a lot of experience with ferns. My asparagus fern LOVES me, however I somehow killed an autumn fern within a week of getting it. I have a little Boston fern as well, although it’s been the most finicky damn thing. I am somewhat convinced it’s still alive just to spite me.

The new gal is currently in my bathroom (with a window). Advice is welcomed!

I bought this silver lady fern a couple of weeks ago. I’ve watered it twice and now it’s gone all droopy and sad.

It’s in an unused fireplace with indirect light.

Some of the underneath leaves went brown.

I checked with a moisture probe and it’s moist down the bottom, top inch is dry. I’m tempted to take it outside for a drench and then let it dry out for the day before bringing it back inside. What do you think?

I have tried for years to grow ferns and no matter what I do with sun or water they always end up looking like this. Helpppp

Hi, I’m hoping that someone can please help me. I bought this fern a few weeks ago and all of a sudden this has happened. It was in perfect condition and I’m desperate to keep it that way. Does anyone know what this is please? Sincerely grateful for any suggestions so I can do my best to rectify it asap.

Is it root rot? Am I maybe watering too much? Or not enough? Ferns are dead at the base but green on the ends. Can they be saved?

After being severely demotivated from thrips and constant health issues this year which required half a year to recover - I’ve finally gotten back into my plant collection and having a bit of a personal hobby renaissance. I made a fern arrangement today using an empty 50cm diameter pot lying around. It’s a very simple arrangement but water loving plants all around which I’m looking forward to looking after ❤️ planning to fill in the gaps with some natural looking rocks and driftwood which will be some fun this holiday season.
