Common Issues of Ferns
If you see dots all over the underside of your fern's foliage, don't freak out. These are commonly confused for pests, but can actually signal that your plant is happy enough to reproduce. The fuzzy spots are are called spores, which reminds us of the plant's ancient age. Ferns cannot be propagated via cutting (unless roots are attached) and they do not flower. Spores are how they multiply themselves, and the process is quite fascinating. You can collect spores to try your hand at raising a baby fern, or you can remove them.
Ferns happen to be quite sensitive to dry conditions. From soil to air quality, they prefer things to be on the moist side. Ideally, their soil never dries out, and humidity levels remain at 70% or higher. If you allow things to get too dry (humidity under 50% is the danger zone), then you risk losing foliage. Tell-tale signs that soil or air is too dry are brown edges or crisping leaves.
