In my garden it does not grow in wet soil but rather on the dry side of a clay pot or on rocks, like an epiphyte holding on with its fine roots. It wants water, but not sit in it. If you want to try growing it in potting soil, I suggest to treat it like a bromeliad plant.Gone Tropicalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05624229320686470399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6312255702572761540.post-6723545324214862812021-05-17T13:52:29.802-04:002021-05-17T13:52:29.802-04:00I am having problems growing whisk fern indoors. ...I am having problems growing whisk fern indoors.
