How to fertilize Rumohra Adiantiformis

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 Rumohra Adiantiformis after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

My leather leaf keeps getting yellow and shrivelled leaves. Am I giving it too little water or putting it too close to the window? It's about a meter from a southwest facing window... gets sun but not loads maybe 3hrs a day #LeatherLeafFern

First Time Fern Mom Hello! I recently received my first ever fern and I have heard they are hard to care for! I am so nervous to kill it. I put it in a grow pot near a humidifier. It’s on my winter table under a grow light, as I get nervous with my plants by the windows in the winter here in the midwest. Any tips and tricks?? :) #LeatherLeafFern #fern #FernFriends #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #plantmom #advice #TipsandTricks

Crispy leaves with brown edges #LeatherLeafFern brought home and repotted almost two weeks ago. It doesn’t look happy. Leaves are brown on the edges and seem dry. Photo to show placement with morning sun.

Will Leatherleaf fern root in water? Took clippings from a flower arrangement. #LeatherLeafFern
