I recently have gotten really interested in this genus and have searched everywhere for it but the plants are either extremely expensive ($200 for a cutting) or Indonesian illegal smugglers. If you have any ant ferns and can sell for 60-70 dollars I would be more than happy to buy one.

Got this fern in import as Drynaria Bonii but doesn't seem to be it at all to me. Anyone got a better idea for me?

Hey! I got my first fern about 2 months ago. I’d say it’s been doing pretty good but I noticed some dry leaves in a couple fronds. Just wanted to know if this is normal or it may be a sign of an underlying issue. Other than that, the fern looks happy! There’s lots of humidity here.
Also, I am not sure what kind of fern it is, if you know please let me know! Thank you so much.

Got this fella to put in a tropical terrarium, was told by another user to try posting here, said they think it looks a bit like a rabbits foot fern. I was informed to check for "a fuzzy rhizome" but am unsure what that'd look like. Any ID and advice for care would be massively appreciated as I'm very much a newbie with ferns!

Hey guys, my fern has crispy edges and dotty leaves, I’ve been away for a week but the humidity has stayed around 70% and the water will have stayed moist but not wet. Can anyone identify the issue?

My Dad gave me this Staghorn a few years back. He’s been propagating them for decades. It’s doubled in size since I received it and is thriving. Besides keeping it watered and out of the direct sun, I just place a banana peel on top of it every six months or so.
I love it and how low maintenance it is.

Is it time to repot?

Is this mounted upside down?

Those are volunteers who grew along with the third, also unidentified fern. Any idea which one is what?
(And how likely am I to keep them alive indoors, since the mystery fern is clearly unhappy...)

Lake Tahoe, California USA
area on the west shore.
Is this normal? I usually see them in dots on bracken ferns

I gathered WAY too many punga spores and this is my first time. I have so much and I don't know how to sort it. That paper thing isn't quite working for me but I can try again. Could I just propagate with husks included?

Probably a Christella dentata

Hi! Got this fern as a gift a couple months ago and adore him. I’ve been noticing some uneven growth (one side looks a lot more bushy than the other) and have noticed many hidden leaves that get no light (is this an issue at all with my potting? Did I pot it too deep?
There are also some crispy leaves.
The fern’s crest is still clearly making new baby fronds so not deathly worried about him, just curious.
Further info:
The uneven growth doesn’t seem to be correlating with which side is facing the window— I rotate the pot every week when I water (started doing this when I first got him when the uneven growth started— has just gotten more prominent since then)
I water every 5 days and keep him on a LECA tray. This window directly faces another building so it only gets indirect light and not harsh sunlight.

Can someone tell me why my fern is yellowing? I have been watering when the soil is on the dry side of being damp? If that even makes sense. I live in a dry climate, so I got a humidifier. I have it by a north facing window with consistent light, and an additional grow light. I’m wondering if I’m going a little overboard with the additional grow light? I have had the plant about a month, started yellowing about a little over a week ago. Should I repot it into an actual pot? lol I haven’t wanted to repot it because it’s having a little bit of a rough time. Thank you!

This is brand new growth from a fern I thought was dead and I have no idea what it was

My fern is producing hundreds of little fern bulibils. I'm tempted to propagate them and plant these ferns all over once they're large enough
