Saved him dying in a garden centre, soil is very dry even a day after watering... afraid to keep watering in case I drown it ...

Hi alicialou👋Don't know much about ferns 🤔 but it should be ok to give it a good soaking then let it drain so it's not sitting in loads of water. #plantadvice

@cee thank you! I’ve soaked it twice now but the top soil just seems to dry out so quickly! Also the pot it’s in doesn’t have any drainage so I’m scared to put anymore water in x

Oh ok, yes if no drainage then I would be wary too👍 Is it in direct sunlight? That may dry out surface quickly.

@cee yes it’s in the window, it gets a good few hours of sun a day... maybe I should move it? X
