Fern SOS - Please Help?

Hello,



We have got a fern in my house and my flatmate had it in her room, she started loosing her leaves and becoming yellow, she put it outside in the garden and it is exactly the same. I've decided to save the fern so, have you got any suggestions? Shall I cut all the yellow leaves and see if she start again having nice luxurious green leaves?





Thanks for your help!!

Trim of the dead foliage, water well, make sure it never dries out, and mist daily, if you use tea bags ever than place a used one on the soil surface, then everytime you water you'll be giving a very weak feed to the plant.
Reply:Trim off all the yellow leaves.Water it good,check for drainage,you can mist the foliage or put it under the shower for a couple of minutes.It should come back in a month or so.
Reply:Sure, cut off the dead or almost dead. Is it light or heavy?



Light = dry, while cutting, poke holes in the soil (aerate) and water.

Heavy = wet, let her dry out.



Ferns really don't like being dry, but are pretty resillient.
