I'm so happy with these guys. Sometimes it feels like hard work to keep on top of but it's worth it in the end.

They make your room living

They're so beautiful. I agree that they seem worth the effort, they make the room feel just right. I love the vine going along the fairy lights, and that it hangs down and makes a frame. Your fern is cute AF, as well.

I have a sundew plant I've had for a few years to eat fruit flies, and this year it surprised me by growing a flower. Makes me happy.

That fern is amazing! How do you keep it so happy? Doesn't it need high humidity?

It gets a mist a couple of times a week and is watered regularly, it gets fed with liquid seaweed around once a month. Our house tends to stay between 40 and 60% humidity which probably helps. It can get a few crispy ends in the winter but then I try and mist it a bit more. Funnily enough we bought two at the same time and the other one didn't last long, this guy is a strong one.

Huh, maybe I'll get one too. I always thought about keeping antler fern in a wall planter but was hesitant due to the high humidity.
