How to fertilize Korean Rock Fern
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Korean Rock Fern after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Ferns- Bare Root I was wondering if anybody had any tips for growing ferns starting at the bare root? I just got some christmas ferns and cinnamon ferns today (two roots per pack), and I have 5 ostrich fern roots on the way. I planted the two christmas tree ferns in one 12 inch pot to start, and the two cinnamon fern roots in another 12 inch pot. The soil is a mix of potting soil and peat moss (I also have coco coir if I need but I haven’t used it yet. Does anyone know if this is a good start or if there is anything I should change/look out for? I’ve never grown ferns this way, so I don’t know why I started off with so many! Thanks! #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #PlantTherapy #FernFriends #Fern #ChristmasFern #CinnamonFern #NewPlantMom
