#tbt about a year ago, I planted a mix of ferns into my shower where there are no windows…how are they now?

2️⃣ For the first few months, I used a dual-head grow light but I measured their light distribution and felt that adding a triple-head grow light would get me better coverage. There were two times when we went on vacation and had to put the planters by the window in a tub with some water. The maidenhair died back once but the others survived. About half a year in, the caddy that was closest to the corner wasn’t doing so well – my guess is that the water deflection from the shower didn’t actually reach that caddy as effectively so its moss remained dry. Now I’m just maintaining these two. After a year, the two best performing ferns are the Silver Lace Fern and Maidenhair Fern.
