We have a new tree fern that seems to be doing ok. Its in a corner that gets
some light towards the end of the day but nothing too strong. Its brought
out 5 new fronds this year and there have been no problems with them besides
rubbing against a wall that has now been rectified.

I am most concerned about the trunk. In some of the old fronds that have
been cut off it almost looks mouldy. They also seem easy to pull off.

It has rained here (Hampshire) almost constantly for quite a few days, so I
haven't been misting it. Any ideas?

P.S I haven't fed it yet as its new and also I fed the baby one and it went
a bit brown so I was a little afraid to.

thanks
