My name is Clara and I am new to gardening, but very excited about it! I’d love to learn and chat about all the plants I hope to grow.

My fern has been struggling quite a bit - I was so afraid of over-watering that I think I under watered! I just snipped the dead ends and repotted into a pot with more drainage, with better potting soil. The fern has been slowly losing leaves since February. But do you guys have any tips for saving/reviving ferns??? Help a fern lover out!

How often are you watering? Are you giving it enough humidity? Ferns can be pretty picky with their environment, especially in the house.

@littlemorningglory about once a week! More if the soil feels dry. It’s been moved by the bathroom, but I live in Salt Lake City, which isn’t known for its humidity

@FernFreak It probably needs more humidity. I would mist it daily(or every other day) and water it twice a week. It's much easier to under water a fern than over water, although they both have the same symptoms.
