    I am in Mumbai. My Fox tail fern was doing well but then I tried to separate and propogate it both the plants died. Now those pots have tubers left. Is there any chance of plant coming out of those tubers?

    Mam, I really need your help/suggestion for my fern… I live in Kolkata… right now it's around 41°c in Kolkata… I placed my fern in balcony under shed in a hanging pot… but edges of the leaf is getting burnt… now,
    1. Should I keep inside of my room, where I usually switch on ac in the afternoon and in the night?
    2. Should I make the soil layering vermy compost and cocopeat one above another? Or mixing two things together?
    Looking forward to your suggestions…🙏
    Thank you

    Hello, thanks for your detailed video on ferns. You asked that we should bring in the fern indoors during extreme winters. If my rooms don't get any sunlight. Kindly suggest.

    I thought this is wild plant cuz I found these fern plants easily everywhere around my house and garden but I let them grow, they are beautiful. I really need to take care of them as the weathers are damaging them these days.

  40. Anandhi Krish

    Lovely tips about fern maintenance. Can you give me specific advise about microsorum green waves or twiisted fern care and propagation?

  44. Indrajit Ghatak

    Excellent advice! My fern is shooting lots of aerial roots just above the surface of the soil, which are then getting dry. What should I do with these?
