Tiffany. Thank you so much for posting this and sharing part of your culture. I loved reading it. I hope your new Laua’e thrives under your care, and it grows into a very large and happy houseplant.

Happy growing with yours! Your placement sounds good, just mointer for issues and move it if you think light is to blame. I think they're the easiest fern I've ever had. Hopefully in a few years you'll say the same.

Glad it was helpful! They're forgiving plants, I hope you find that with yours too.

Hi! I didn't know what you meant to start with, but I think you mean the aerial roots? I imagine in their natural habitat or if they were attached to something more textured they could grip hold quite firmly, but in an everyday container they're not attached at all and can be moved freely around. It's by far one of my easiest going ferns. If you find one for a decent price, I would recommend them.

Water it! That's literally all you can do now. There are no magic tricks or hacks to bring it back. Hopefully it wasn't dry for too long and will recover. If you do lose a lot of leaves / fronds, then keep going as the rhizomes can hold on for longer and may sprout replacement growth in a month or so.

I'm glad you were able to track the name of it down (and find my video!). Brilliant houseplants, I love mine. I hope you have a good experience with yours. As for the problems. So I have had yellow spots / dots (I have photos on my website, link in the description, if you want to look at what mine looked like to compare). I believe it was Aphids and they had transmitted a disease into the leaf areas where they were feeding. The yellow marks never spread and either the leaves just finished themselves off, or I pulled them off. I can't remember. But the plant is all clear now and healthy. I've not had the white type edge issue, though. But it sounds like possible sun damage. Are parts of the plant basking in direct light, maybe?

That sounds rubbish. 1) Are you sure the brown spots are part of the leaf and not spores? Many ferns do "flower" at this time of the year. If you're sure it's actual damage to the leaf, then it could well be sun damage, as you've hinted at. Nothing you can do about the brown. Treat the plant well going forward, and new leaves / fronds will grow and gradually replace the damaged ones. 2) I have my own plant right next to me and looking at it now, and all the stems are totally smooth. So I can't help there. Potentially a pest, maybe? The rhizomes can be hairy and have some bumps, is it possible that's what you're looking at? If it's definitely on the stem leading up to the leaf, then I don't know why they would be there, I'm sorry! You can send me a photo over on my website if you want me to have a better look.

@@ourhouseplants thanks much appreciated

And by drop I meant they completely fall off.

It sounds like a watering issue. Perhaps too much or not enough. I don't generally like bottom watering unless your particular setup requires it. It can be tricky to know if you're giving the right amounts. That said you did mention you repotted it. If that was very recent that could be the cause too. What sort of potting mix did you use? Much much bigger is the new container?

@@ourhouseplants Hi thanks so much for responding. The container is not too much bigger, maybe a bit deeper and the potting mix I used is miracle gro potting mix , looks like the most basic one.

@@peachshakes That all sounds good, really. It could just be slight overwatering and adjusting to the new environment. Excessively low humidity can react badly with these ferns, but it will have to be super low. Sometimes miracle grow potting mix can hold a little too much water so "overwatering" is what I'm leaning towards at this point based on what you've said.

@@ourhouseplants thank you so much for your feedback, I will continue to watch it closely!

They can be buried lightly, yes (I've done it!), but I wouldn't personally put them too deep as I could imagine this could lead to rotting.
