Yellow Fronds
This guy has 2 fronds that have gone almost completely yellow. I’ve had him about a month. There is new some new growth, and his rhizomes are growing. He’s near a north window and I mist him daily. It’s a self watering pot which I fill whenever it’s low. Anything I’ve read says it is lack of moisture, but I feel like I’ve taken steps to avoid that. Any ideas? Thanks!

Ferns tend to need to be pruned quite often so it might just be a old frond. If it is lack of moisturizer I’d recommend putting it by a humidifier

The self watering pot is a great idea!

In addition to the self watering pot, I also keep my asparagus Plumosa on a make-shift pebble tray. It has helped keep dying fronds at bay.

@sarazel I agree with @sarahsalith. A self watering pot is a great idea. Drying fonds are from lack of moisture as well.

I clipped the yellow frond and have increased his humidity with a tiny desk top humidifier. He seems happy and has a bunch of new fronds! Thanks everyone.
