Image Getting back into my plants after a tough year - my new fern arrangement!
galleryAfter being severely demotivated from thrips and constant health issues this year which required half a year to recover - I’ve finally gotten back into my plant collection and having a bit of a personal hobby renaissance. I made a fern arrangement today using an empty 50cm diameter pot lying around. It’s a very simple arrangement but water loving plants all around which I’m looking forward to looking after ❤️ planning to fill in the gaps with some natural looking rocks and driftwood which will be some fun this holiday season.

Image 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.

Image Since I know some people here love Staghorn Ferns...this is a gigantic Staghorn Fern ball that used to hang from chains in the fern section of a nearby greenhouse I used to work at. The last picture is from the top looking down, and shows other ferns growing inside of the Staghorn ball.

Reposting because one "fern" was actually not a fern, it was some other plant.

Image 45+ yr old staghorn.
This beauty has been around a while, but recently gotten a little frost bit, when it dipped to 33, all the fronds have turned brown. And some squirrels have put some holes in her. Any suggestions to help nurse her back, and to stopped the squirrels from messing her up. Pic was from may earlier this year

Image More wild desert ferns
galleryThis is from a hike today up the side of Bar Mountain, above Soledad Canyon, near Las Cruces, NM, USA. This is about 3 miles south of where I was last weekend.
I saw the same varieties of ferns as last weekend, but I took more scenic photos this time.
The last photos may be moss.

Image Is this a rabbits foot?
galleryHey fern community, I'm curious if this is a rabbit's foot fern. I'm confused because it seems to have very little "feet," and doesn't seem to grow out over the top of them. My other rabbit's foot has way more "feet" so I'm not entirely sure. TYIA!

I have multiple ferns at home… I had left this self watering pot with clay soil. I had planted basil seeds… those seeds didn’t sprout. I just left this on the shelf.After many months of waiting to see what was growing. Now I see these baby ferns. 🥹
