🪴 Nutrients

How to fertilize frosty fern

Nutrient, fertilizer, and repotting needs for frosty fern: repot after 2X growth

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 frosty fern after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

I’m not sure if I’m over or under watering. It looks okay right now, but the plant looked very dry and droopy for awhile after I took it home. I reduced the watering schedule from weekly to around every ten days, and moved it from under a grow light to a few feet from a window. I let the water drain well when I water it. It still doesn’t look as happy as it did when I bought it.
