Dryopteris

My husband picked this one up for me while at HD. Little did he know how intimidated I am by ferns. I always kill them.😢😢😢... Let's see how long she lasts.😞

@Krista4now just have a talk with it and it will tell u it needs water,also show u its happy by growing so Pretty.😊 They like indirect or filtered light. If it's warm in the house,ck with pointer finger to see if passed first buckle is dry..the just water with alittle water. You can spray the leaves once a day as well they love that. Once a month put it in the shower with lukewarm water lightly wet it til water flows through bottom and hang it on shower rod for a bit b4 putting it up...also

Don't let it sit with water under it..make roots rot. U can place a cookie sheet with river rocks under it and put a small amt of water(like a humidity tray) during winter mths. Spring place it outside in mourning sun/shade and leave it be til u water...Always Luke warm water..cold shocks roots. I hope this helps...and I didn't step on toes telling u..😊

@acetaker omg thank you, that is some great information! I put her in the bathroom so she can catch some humidity from the shower. I'm going to do everything you said to do. thank you thank you thank you!
