7” pot with drainage
Last watered 1 day ago
These guys are extremely fussy when it comes to water! They need higher humidity and more frequent watering. If you have it in terracotta it’ll dry out way faster. I had one that I just couldn’t keep alive for this very reason, and I didn’t learn until way later
It’s in a basket so it’s going to dry out very quickly, not sure about why it’s in such a well draining basket. Ferns in general are fussy like @MilkNewt said.

Staghorn ferns are a really good alternative. They look cool, they don’t care about humidity and they can tolerate drying out and are generally much hardier. They can be mounted or grown in pots. I’ve tried a few ferns and got sick of all of them apart from my staghorns πŸ₯°
The plant store had it in this with a bunch of moss to retain the water. They said 1x per week. I mist her daily. The leaves feel soft and damp so it didn’t seem like water was the answer….
