How to fertilize Gretnae
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 itās likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Gretnae after it doubles in size or once a yearāwhichever comes first.

Dying leaves I have Lemi in a self watering pot, itās been doing very well growing a lot. In the past month Iāve 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. Iām very new to this plant so Iām unsure what itās 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 Iām in rainy season in the west coast so not much sun happening anyway. Iām a very new plant owner and am unsure on how to identify and fix theses issues. Any help appreciated! #BostonFern
