fern!

For some reason I've always been very fond of ferns, but never had one in the house. Until now! A very nice lady who visited my apartment and noticed how much I love plants brought me one.

It had been a bit neglected and was rather dried out. I gave it a good soaking, let it sit in the bathroom through the humidity of two kids' bath/playtime, and this morning gave it a little pruning. It doesn't look much different after the cleanup, just a bit tidier.

I did find a few little fiddleheads growing deep inside the plant, so it seems healthy enough!

I've never before kept a plant growing in fiber (except perhaps the orchid which died) so this will be a new learning experience for me. I think what it needs most is frequent watering and humidity treatments, as the water drains awful fast from that coir basket.

I'm not sure exactly, but think this is a Boston Fern.
