Fern Recipe

A friend of my mom's was moving and gave her a potted fern.  It didn't look very good-let's just say it needed some help!  After looking it over, I found that is was potted in a very sandy soil and the whole middle or inside was brown and drying up.  I decided to try my "recipe" on it to see if I could revive it.  I left it in the same sandy soil and after about 2 weeks, I started seeing new growth!  I wish I had taken a picture in the beginning--believe me, you would have thrown it out. 

Here it is now--mom put her foot in the pic "just to show 'em how big it really is".


So, here it is: 

Kristy's Fern Recipe

  • Put 1 scoop of Peter's Professional All Purpose Plant Food in your watering can and water (till runs out of the bottom); note the day of the week
  • Water everyday (or every other day in milder climates; here in Florida-EVERYDAY until cooler) with just water
  • The next week on same day (remember noted day of the week), put 1 heaping tablespoon of Epsom Salt directly into center of fern.
  • Water everyday again with just water
  • Repeat
You will have beautiful, long, rich green ferns before you know it!
