If, despite regular watering and almost perfect conditions, your wilts and loses leaves, it may need support in the form of additional nutrients.
It’s beautiful, but capricious. So check if you are not making any basic mistakes when growing ferns. If necessary, move the pot with the plant and give it a home-made nutrient that will be a vitamin bomb for it.. Thanks to this, it will regain vitality and the willingness to release new ones.
Before you start messing around, check whether the problem is the fern growing conditions. Some people forget that This plant requires regular watering every 7-10 days with soft, boiled water and the use of a humidifier because it comes from humid areas.
It is usually not recommended to keep it in a too bright place where direct sunlight falls on it. In such conditions, it easily discolors. So it is best if it is diffused and the room temperature is around 18-25 degrees Celsius.
Try not to open the window often if the fern is on the windowsill, as drafts are not good for it. Also, don’t forget that growing ferns requires fertile, permeable soil. A mixture of compost soil, sand and peat works best.
Even in autumn and winter, the fern may require support. However, you do not need to buy store-bought fertilizers to support its development. Apparently, homemade powdered milk supplement given once every 4-5 weeks can help her when she becomes weak and begins to lose vigor.
Instead of adding powder to the dough, mix 1 small spoon of the product with 1 liter of boiled water (do not increase the proportion, because the fern does not tolerate excess milk). Wait until it cools down and water the flowers. This way you will provide your fern with a moderate amount of calcium and stimulate it to grow and put out new leaves.
