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

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.

My neighbor said I could have it from their scrap plant matter pile 😆. What type of fern is it?
Location: massachusetts, usa

Thanks!

I’m not well versed in ferns and found this one in good shape at a Menards. It was just labeled ‘Fern’ which was not very helpful in narrowing down its care needs. I’m thinking about adding this to a new vivarium I’m working on and want to see if it can do well in there

Initially I only sowed this tray of Adiantum capillus-veneris because I wanted to take some pics of gametophyte development for a uni project… I never thought I would get this many sporophytes lol. But now this success has turned growing ferns from spores into my latest obsession.

Do I need to divide this rabbit's foot fern or can I let it continue to go crazy?

I was walking some trails in Northwest Florida and found a small limestone cave. As I was leaving I saw this beautiful maide hair fern was growing. I wanted to share! I almost passed by it not realizing it was there.

My little Lemon Button fern is thriving nicely under a grow light in my window less bathroom. These little tendrils shot out almost overnight. Are they seeking out more soil? What are their 'special purpose'?

I need to make herbarium of this plant ! but I don't know it's classification huh....I think it's rare.

After 56 days I’ve spotted the first equisetum sporophyte. Compared to other ferns, these develop quite fast.

I'm in zone 8; northern Georgia, US. Six of eight are native to my area.

Here's my fern garden in spring. By the end of the summer, some things start looking rough because of the heat and lack of rain.

1. Southern Wood Fern

2. Christmas Fern

3. Sensitive Fern

4. Autumn Fern (non-native)

5. Royal Fern

6. Southern Maidenhair Fern

7. Japanese Painted "Godzilla" Fern (non-native)

8. Cinnamon Fern

Hi

It’s been extremely windy in the southwest of England recently. Fronds on our two large tree ferns usually emerge at slightly different times, the furthest away being only the second year of planting. Our newly emerging fronds are all withering! Any ideas? Wind perhaps or squirrels?

This is the first time we have experienced this. Closest fern has been planted for 9 years.

Aiuto! Non so come quale possa essere il problema. Avete qualche idea?

Grazie in anticipo
