An introduction and a first-hand account:

Just cut off a rhizome to grow another plant and when I cut it , realized after it has roots and a stem, do I still lay this on soil or burry roots

Anyone ever see ferns spilt like this? Was wondering if its possible to clone or propagate?..

I repotted my fern because it was very root bound (pic 1-3), and it has not come back to what it use to look like (pic 4 and 5), it seems as if it’s doing even worse (last picture) 😢

Found this beauty in my garden - she is growing off a fabric planter. Is this a weed or a fern ?
Tempted to bring a small sample inside before winter sets in. Zone 6a - 7b.

Just taken some more photos to help with IDing this fern!

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
