I have never been able to keep one of these alive, but I absolutely love them. Every time I’ve had one within a month the leaves start falling off and there’s nothing left but stems. I’m either messing up with the watering, or not putting them in the right light. I know where one is that is hanging under a carport and it’s as big as the hood of a car. Not sure what she does with it during the winter months.

I have tons of luck with ferns and it is all luck! I have repotted them once already and they are huge again. i have them sitting outside on my front porch. I don’t really have a strict watering schedule just whenever I think about it and I use miracle grow once every 2-3 months.

I have never had much luck with ferns. It seems that no matter how careful I am they always wind up dried out and they lose their fronds and die on me. After reading this I am now thinking about trying a fern once more.

I don’t have much luck with ferns, every single time i buy one, within months it starts dying on me. Same with Bonsai’s. I water them say every three days and i even put them outside for some sun on occasions. I feed now and then with miracle grow.

I have been having problems with my fern turning yelowish, I never realized I was giving it too much water. Reading this may have saved my fern! Thanks so much
