How to fertilize Lucky Lemon 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 Lucky Lemon Fern after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Propagated Boston Fern Hello fellow plant lovers! My beast of a Boston Fern was so mesmerizing, I decided to cut part of her out and start another, following all of the suggestions proposed by the good old internet. However, she's of course a bit scorched and while I can cut away those fronds, I am really looking for the signs of #newgrowth. What do you see here as you look at these pictures? She is not as full, but that's because of how much I took out, and I am okay with that for now. Give me the good, the bad, and the ugly for what you'd recommend. #bostonfern #propogation #babyplants #fern

Dying leaves I have Lemi in a self watering pot, it’s been doing very well growing a lot. In the past month I’ve noticed a lot of the stems on the bottom turning brown and dying off, some of the leaves on the end of the stems are yellow and brown. I’m very new to this plant so I’m unsure what it’s trying to tell me. I thought maybe too much light so I moved it to a slightly shadier area but still no change. Do I need to change the way I water it? Or is something else the problem? #FernFriends

What is going on with Melvin! I just got him two or so weeks ago, thriving and has been perfectly fine until two days ago when he started to wilt? I wait until the soil is completely dried up to water, moved him further from the window but I’m in rainy season in the west coast so not much sun happening anyway. I’m a very new plant owner and am unsure on how to identify and fix theses issues. Any help appreciated! #BostonFern
