r/ferns

Went on vacation to the Azores recently and was amazed by the amount of ferns there are. Here are a few pictures of them!

I raised them without a greenhouse. In south korean apartment

I wanted to post in r/houseplants but I’m not allowed since my account is new 😅 here’s a Kimberly queen that was given to me, almost dead. It was insanely root bound and I had to cut back almost all the fronds because they were brown and crispy. I just wanna show off 6 months of progress!

I have had this fern for at least a year and it has been down to this ONE frond for at least the last six months. It had lost all of the other fronds (maybe twelve to fifteen originally).

I can barely contain my excitement. It is growing a new sporophyte! This is the first one it has ever grown.

I’ve gotten interested in ferns recently, as a result of my interest in native plant gardening. This spring, I had a landscaper doing some long overdue trimming of bushes on my property, which included cutting back the forsythia that was pressing against my garage. When I investigated the space, I found two lovely ferns that Google lens identified as lady ferns. I was thinking of transplanting the smaller one over to an area near some trees where I would like to encourage ferns to grow. I have already planted two Christmas ferns there which I purchased at a nursery.

Yesterday, I spotted several young ferns on the edge of my lawn. Google lens identified them as New York ferns and/or Marginal Woodland ferns. I don’t entirely trust Google lens, and to me they look a lot like the Lady ferns behind the forsythia.

The attached pictures are of the larger lady fern (I’d prefer to transplant the smaller one) and the little ferns that are in the grass. I have two primary questions:

Can someone help me with the identification, and also give advice on transplanting these little ones? And can I safely transplant the smaller adult fern?

If it’s relevant to your answer, I am in New Jersey, zone 7a.

TIA

These were found in southwestern Washington state.

Got this Australian tree fern, which is actually two, is it able to be separated or would it do too much harm?

Looking for some guidance. I've had this guy for a few months. I'm down to a few leaves and can't figure it out.

I water when moisture meter is says it's dry.

Gets direct sun for at least 3-4 hrs a day.

Just a little manual timelapse experiment I've been working on. I took one photo every day and put them together into a video.

Context: I bought this Asplenium bulbiferum from a local plant shop as a rescue. It was in really bad shape, almost dying, covered in aphids, scale insects, and mealybugs. I figured it would be easier to cut everything back, repot it, and let new healthy growth develop while treating the rhizome. So far it's working, and it looks like it should bounce back pretty quickly.

Bought this fern 2 weeks ago but not sure what it is. Plant app has told me different varieties each time. Substrate has been very wet . Going to repot since no drainage holes. Please help with what it is and care

At work and stumbled onto this. It’s the only one I see and in rough shape. Anyone know the ID? I’ve never seen this one before. Is it rare or pretty common?

Built this out of a free Ikea Rudsta tall, did the usual pond foam background, It has an egg crate, false bottom, a drain, and an HVAC system made with a computer fan. Will give credit to many creators on YouTube but especially tangled earth for their thoughtful and thorough videos.

Current humidity is 90, lights are ac ionbeam s11

I was given these ferns which were removed for an installation near Charleston, sc zone 9a but I cannot identify the specific type. Any help is greatly appreciated!

I bought this a few years back but over lost the tag. Any ideas what this might be?

Just wondering what this is, no matter how hard i try to get rid of it it always comes back.

Hey guys. This blue star fern has been with me for quite some time and grew on me. It seemed to be doing good recently. Multiple new sprouts and leaves. I cut it back a few weeks ago and wanted to repot it the upcoming week. However I saw this brown leaf today. My first guess was that it might got sunburned since it is outdoors on my balcony during summer (it gets ~14 h of light daily) but I always make sure, it's in the shade and the brown parts aren't dry or crispy.

Because of the warm weather I water twice a week with decalcified water and spray it in the morning and in the evening. I do believe it is potted in an orchid soil mix but I'm not 100% sure.

I want to give it the best life possible but I'm no expert with house plants. Google didn't really help with this. I appreciate any help. Thanks!
