i bet i could keep a fern alive if i was just growing it emersed in a tank, but i cant exactly take cuttings of ferns to root in water, and im Extremely Hesitant to try just Washing Off The Roots bc ive yet to get all the dirt off that way and i Really dont want dirt with god only knows what in it in my fish tank

#toy txt post #can i?????????? grow them from seed?????????????????????#if i get seeds from my parlor palm i might try to get them to germinate in paper towels and if i can get them past the cotyledon stage #maybe i can get them growing emersed!!!!!!! and give some away haha thatd be cool #but yea like. idk i know ppl put dirt in tanks sometimes but like idk what the og nursery that grew it put in there and im sure some of #that og dirt is whats held in the deepest clutches of its roots. id probably be fine since i dont really have any invertebrates?#but like i dont want to risk it u know?#but it sucks bc i bet id actually be able to keep a fern alive cos it would solve my problem of not watering it enough and maybe it would #even be enough humidity all by itself!! idk. i just know my crispy wave bird nest fern uh. well. its crispy #its not dead but its slowly dying and this is like. the second or third one of these ive killed?#the daily misting seemed to be helping for awhile but then it just started dying and even the healthy leaves kinda look like shit so. idk.#ig i just Shouldnt Have Ferns for now
