Amateur need help with green fingers

[Sofarsogood]

Hi all,

 

Bought some potted plants a few weeks ago. This "fern" I thought was low maintenance type, water twice a day, outdoor type under sun. However, as days go on, it seems the plant is 'sick'. If you look at the lower part, the leaves have turned yellow and brown. It wasn't like this in the beginning.

 

Was it due to (1) not enough sunlight (2) not enough water (3) soil not nutritious?

maybe too much water? i think once a day is good enough

Most potted plants need to repot into a bigger pot after bringing them back.

pour some urine and it will be back to health like crazy.

 

I am not kidding.

It looks like an indoor type of plant that dun need direct sunlight. As the fern leaves are small & narrow they photosynthesis less Dan those big leafly plants. Try bringing it indoors or put at some corner to avoid direct sunlight.

too much sunlight. cos fern leech on trees that has alot of water. so its not afraid of direct sun light. try bringing it indoor.

Example of Singapore with too much foreign talents? The pot represents Singapore + the plant represents the total population = overcrowding already

Solution: transplant into bigger pot.

have this plant as well.

 

too much water, it will turn yellow.

too much fertilizer it will die.

too long no fertilizer (3months), it will turn yellow.

 

mine doesn't get much sunlight. about 2-3hrs a day.
