#KimberlyQueenFern help Hi! I recently inherited a #KimberlyQueenFern as temperatures are dropping and it needs an indoor home. I donāt know its history or how it was cared for and it isnāt a plant I am familiar with. To me, it looks like it needs a new pot? Itās currently in a 12 inch pot and itās really packed in there and busting out the sides! It also looks recently cut back so I donāt want to cause more stress too quickly by repotting. It has tons of fiddleheads so maybe itās just fine and happy as is? I would love to know your thoughts and what my next steps should be. Thank you for your advice!

Listen. Why is this plant so obnoxious? #KimberlyQueenFern I cannot keep this thing alive. It keeps dropping leaves - almost ALL its leaves. What is up with this thing? I have it in the bathroom where thereās good humidity and I repotted it in peat moss.

What other plant parents say










This fern has put me through it all. She was one of my first plants and had gone through seasons of feast and famine to say the least. They told me that ferns are finicky and the Kimberly Queen is no exception. It got to the point where I finally put her outside to finally cross the rainbow bridge when she suddenly started sprouting new and beautiful fronds and new life- which is what you see now. Definitely thrives in humidity and sun. Keeping them alive inside is not for casual plant moms. Sheās a full time job.
