Elaphoglossum propagation by spores.

The solid frond with the black stuff are spores right? Has anyone experienced germinating them?

What's wrong with my Boston ferns?!

*there is also one NON Boston but I'm not sure the variety

I keep these in a greenhouse setup with bright light, 60-90% humidity most of the day with temperatures between 60° and 90° Fahrenheit

This damage appeared suddenly out of nowhere, one is hanging, one was on a plant stand, both are fairly root bound in these pots they came in so in other words they don't hold a ton of moisture this is in Phoenix Arizona so the ambient humidity outside of my greenhouse is extremely low and we get a ton of sunlight!

These turned this way over a very short course of time, I've applied one round of Miracle-Gro fertilizer about 3 weeks ago so I'm not sure if that's what caused this but I threw them out as they were only two for 20 bucks and didn't think it was worth the risk to all my other plants

Indoor Autumn Fern

I wanted to show off my indoor Autumn Fern. It was overwintered and only had a couple of fronds when I woke it up. I learned quickly it needs tons of light to be happy and my west-facing window wasn't enough. I ended up getting a 38 par(?) grow light about 18 inches from the fern. My favorite thing is to watch the alien looking fiddleheads slowly grow. Has anyone else tried to grow one indoors?

Is it time to say goodbye?

I nearly killed my fern a while ago by thinking he’d look cool and whimsy in the corner of the bath but he quite clearly hated it the condition hasn’t reaaaaaally improved since I moved him but it hasn’t really gotten much better either?
I’m new to plants so idk if I am capable of reviving this guy… what should I do🥲

asparagus fern rescue

this is an asparagus fern that my house bought for a housemate, but it got left to dry out in the living room for... maybe a year? last week i finally decided i had to rescue it. it still has some green! i believe in it!

things ive done so far:

  • trimmed dead growth (remaining yellow bits usually have some green there)
  • bottom watered it for a week
  • moved it to my room out of direct sunlight
  • stuffed moss around the top to help retain moisture
  • put it in the bathroom when i have a shower, for humidity

im wondering about repotting, but im nervous abt aaaaaall this change on it. i have more moss so i could make a moss ball around it, but my plan is to do that when its more revived.

advice? 'its dead' or 'its done for' not accepted i will only take that conclusion by seeing it w my own eyes! i want to try!

Anyone use watering globes with ferns?

I’ve got a Boston fern in my apartment that seems to be struggling a bit, not sure if it’s from lack of humidity or watering, has anyone had success using watering globes with ferns? Thank you!

My mother’s tree fern. She’s been growing it since before mine.

This is my mother’s Cibotium barometz.
She started growing it in July 2018, about a year before I got mine.
It has slowly grown into this size indoors over the years.

This one supposed to be dramatic, that's what they said.

I am really proud of this one. Got it with a few fronds last year. 😊

What’s the species of this fern?

So help me dear people. I’m from southeast Brazil.

I used to have this lovely fern for about 50 years. The original plant is older than me (used to belong to my mother). I unfortunately lost it recently from a beetle plague eating their rhizomes without me noticing. Yeah, I know. 😩😩😭😭😭

I want to buy another sapling but I can’t find the right species name. I found a similar one pretty popular but it’s absolutely not the same. It doesn’t grow from a rhizome and their foliage is pretty small comparatively.

Can anyone please identify this one? First pic it’s the plant already suffering from beetles plague (I wish I’ve known!!), second and others it’s it in their best form straight long vertical beautiful foliage form.

Thank you all in advance in this difficult quest.
