    One of my first houseplants was a Boston fern, my mom got me a 4 inch pot as an office warming gift. Now it’s a massive chocker that has it’s own plant stand, the humidity where I live is around 30% but it’s still happy and healthy. The best things I’ve done for it was put it in a self-watering planter ☺️

    • @kyrad6543

      That has been the key to my success with ferns as well. I use wicking pots. They seem to be happy as long as they have that consistent damp soil. I live in a very dry climate so I cannot provide them with high humidity. But so far, the soil tradeoff has worked for me.

    Ferns are meant for outdoors only in my opinion. They drop leaves, suffer from loss of humidity, and I gave up on them. Your plants are super.

    • @craiglevy8144
      @craiglevy8144 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Jump back into the fern game by growing a staghorn fern. They tolerate low humidity indoors and do well in a wide range of temperatures. Best of all they can take being dry between waterings, in fact they will die quicker from overwatering than most anything else. Young plants are inexpensive and once you get used to their watering needs the plants grow quick enough. Stick wirh the most common type (bifurcatum and its varieties) and stay away from exotic species and varieties until you have more experience. Good luck!

      I think it mostly depends on your environment and growing conditions. If you live somewhere with suitable conditions for begonias, you will find them easy. And it you don't, well, it'll be more difficult to take care of them.

    I grew up on San Diego, CA. My late father had a couple of shade houses. In the middle of one of them, he hung a large ball of moss completely covered in Rabbit's foot fern. That man could grow everything that didn't require the cold (no tulips or lilacs for example). I have a fair number if ferns in my collection that are doing well. But I only have one Begonia, they don't as a rule don't like me very much, sadly. I have been a subscriber for at least six years.

    I have had a Euphorbia Leuconeura since the early 90s. One of my customers had a plant growing in her office and I was thoroughly impressed with it. It was over 5 feet tall. She gave me one of the babies and I have had them sprouting up all over the place. They do bloom and get a white bloom at the top and when the blooms go to seed they will pop the seeds in every single pot in the general vicinity. You’ll have them popping up everywhere!! It’s very easy To grow and doesn’t really care about the environment. I have some I put outside in the summer, they thrive. I even put them in a window in my daughters room, and she doesn’t take care of it, and it will thrive. The leaves will keep some sort of veining however they do fade, and I do not remember if it’s the lighting that causes it to adjust. I believe it is the case. I share plants all over the place and finding a neat plant to share as gifts! You’ll also find little black seeds all over the floor, just be careful your cat doesn’t consume them.

  • @Omni9519

Being a noob in terrarium I overwatered my terrarium and it grew mold so I replanted them somewhere else but they eventually died. However I still want to try growing one and I found a cheap rabbit foot fern just before new year of 2021. It survive against all odds to this day.
