Autumn Fern Care Hi! I recently got a baby Autumn Fern about a week ago, and I am a little worried about its progress. Its fronds feel very dry (could be normal for the plant?) and I have noticed that a few of the fronds are broken/dying. All of the other ferns that I bought with the Autumn Fern have been thriving and growing new fronds since I repotted them, but Iām worried that my Autumn Fern is not on the right path. (Greg doesnāt let me give this as an option, but the soil is a mix of equal parts peat moss and potting soil-my ferns have liked that in the past.) Does anyone have any tips for taking care of these plants and what I may be doing wrong? Thanks in advance! #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #PropagationStation #FernFriends #AutumnFern #PlantTherapy #NewPlantMom

Is it salvageable? #AutumnFern my fern is shriveling. I mistakenly thought it wanted a lot of light and have had it in a west-facing window for weeks now. Iāve solved that problem, but will it bounce back? My plan was to put it in a high-humidity terrarium with grow light, but if itās not going to thrive, Iāll just cut my losses.
