My fern is its own pot now.

Rabbit's foot fern. If I had to guess it's been in the same 6 inch pot for about three years now.

It's been struggling more and more over the past ~3 months. Fronds are browning, or sometimes turning pale before dropping. I'm thinking it may finally be at its limit. I'm going to amp up the fertilizer amount briefly and hope for the best. Otherwise it's going to be a fun time separating this mess a propagating whatever I can save.

How did you manage this?

Dunno. Just kept on watering it the same way I always have and it just... Kept going. Not sure there's any point in detailing its environment or care instructions because it's been through two apartments and three lighting situations.

I’ve got one like this. It’s in a coir basket. Several years ago, I cut the core out and put in more potting mix. It’s back to the same density now.

Smart. If I ever do this again I won't use a concrete pot, hah.
