hello again. I have a question for any fern experts out there. I bought a
beautiful, tiny maidenhair fern, with the really tiny leaflets? I bought it
from big w, took it home and repotted. First thing I noticed was that it was
in a huge pot for it's rootball. So it's now in a small ceramic pot, and not
thriving. It's in a warm, humid bathroom, and kept moist constantly. I added
a layer of sand underneath to aid drainage, but it's leaves gradually brown
off and die. It keeps sending up new shoots, which is encouraging, but they
are browning off too before they open fully. I maybe able to save it still,
as it's still trying to send up shoots....help please, before it's too
late!!

sounds good to me meee,

when you bring plants indoors you must remember that what looks light
and bright to us is probably insufficient for plants. don't put plants
within 10 foot of a glass window where sun enters.

the best test is to see waht sort of shadow your hand forms against
the wall with the hand about 10"s away if it is not very distinct then
the light is probably too low, rule of thumb with indoors 2 weeks
inside 5 weeks outside. no plant is truely and indoor plant they all
grow from in jungles or forest areas etc.,.

we humans just make them adapt.
