Why are my heart fern leaves turning brown?
Humid air and an absence of dry soil are what keeps this genus happy, so dry air will lead to browning leaf tips and weakened growth. Either mist weekly or introduce a humidity tray to keep life manageable.
What is the best feed for ferns?
Fertilization. Ferns are relatively light feeders compared to many other foliage plants. They prefer a balanced fertilizer, such as 20-10-20 or 20-20-20, with micronutrients applied at approximately 200 ppm nitrogen. Too much nitrogen can cause tip burn on the roots and leaves if the plant becomes dry.
How do you keep ferns alive indoors?
Mist your ferns as often as practical, preferably in the morning. Keep a spray bottle handy and train your family members to use it whenever they pass by the fern. Stand the pot on a tray of pebbles or clay granules and keep those wet. This increases the humidity around the plant without keeping the roots soggy.
Why does my heart fern have yellow leaves?
The leaves of a Heart leaf fern may turn yellow or dry out if they are not given sufficient humidity, or are exposed to bright light. Similarly, you may notice the plant withering as a result of being kept at too low temperature or if its soil is not being kept consistently moist.
When should I water my heart fern?
The heart fern houseplant needs bright, indirect sunlight. Keep the plant moist, but not wet, as it is prone to rot. Ideally, you should use soft water or let hard tap water sit overnight to dissipate the harsh chemicals and then use the next day.
Why are my fern leaves curling?
Too much water or low levels of humidity can cause the fronds on your fern to curl up, as can a number of different pests and diseases that can strike your plant. Ferns like shaded areas, so direct sunlight and too much heat can also cause them to suffer.
How often should you water button ferns?
Water regularly - weekly, or more often in extreme heat. Foliage clumps reach 18 in.
How do you propagate a heart leaf fern?
Propagation. Though Heart Leaf Ferns spread primarily through their use of spores, division is the easiest way to propagate this plant. Once the fern is dense, you can uproot the entire plant and divide its root ball into smaller portions. Plant each division individually and let each settle on their own time!
Is Heart fern toxic to cats?
Staghorn Fern
These unusual plants have two-types of leaves one heart-shaped and one that looks remarkably like the horns of a deer, hence the name. Staghorn ferns (Platycerium spp) which are non-toxic to both cat and dog pets, are easy to grow if you provide them the right living conditions.
How do you treat Hemionitis Arifolia?
For best results, ensure that you place your Hemionitis arifolia fern in a position that's well away from any harsh or direct sunlight. Choose a spot where your plant will enjoy moderate, filtered, diffused light, and ensure that your fern's growing conditions are kept very humid.
