Silly the fern is in distress. Any help is appreciatedš¢ Hello Greg community. I think my maidenhair fern is dying :( Greg says to water her every 5-6 days. but her soil is getting dry really quickly, so Iāve been spraying a little water twice a day. Some leaves are drying out and others are becoming lighter. She used to look so healthy. Am I overwatering? Iām not the most experienced and this is scary

I was running out of space for plants on my window sill so decided to get a tension pole to put a few on. I also unfortunate had to purchase an extra plant and some hanging pots to fill out the hooks, I was very devastated about that š Iām not sure if I should repot the couple of plants I have that are in pots that donāt fit well inside their cover pot, or if I should just put up with the visible inserts until the weather warms back up in spring. #HangingPlants #RepotSeason #aussieplantfam #FernFriends #PothosPack #Philodendron
