Them Boston ferns, I can never find what is it exactly they want. Since I have placed them on pebbles, spraying them with lukewarm water, water them with water has been sitting for two days, they are in dappled shade to shade place, the soil is the same combo as the other ferns I have potted, but those thrive, while the Boston ferns are just grumpy. They lose a lot of leaves and getting emptier day by day. Sure, there is still new fronds, but I cannot figure out what
more to give them, do for them, etc. I am thinking of getting a humidifier to assist.
My Chamaedorea Elegans has got a new leaf! That's great news, as it was given to me by a relative who could not provide for her any more,
and she was rather beaten up. I even found scale on a leaf, but she seems to have adjusted to her new place and that she likes it. Let's see.
My Fittonias produce new leaves like crazy, I think those too have found the conditions, soil and light convenient for them!
I must take some cuttings so that they don't become too tall, but remain bushier and lower. Is it easy to propagate, I would say not,
but since I will have the cuttings I will give this a try. I could try buying some rooting hormone and use.
I only have a plant that is sad, and it is a miniature Hedera helix, my Mini Adam.
It is limp since yesterday, gave him water, sprayed him, put him in a shadier place.
Those small ones are so lovely but equally finicky! I hope he survives.
