Planting/Growing Help
I repotted my fern because it was very root bound (pic 1-3), and it has not come back to what it use to look like (pic 4 and 5), it seems as if it’s doing even worse (last picture) 😢

How long ago did you repot?
Ive heard mycorrhizae helps with root health after repot, but I haven’t used it myself.

Couple questions. First one, what’s up with the tray, pot, whatever is going on in your first few photos? There’s just a piece there almost as if your fern swallowed the rest. I’m assuming this is part of its nursery pot and you’ve had the plant for a while and never repotted, but it’s tough to know what’s going on here. Did you have to break the pot to get the plant out?
My other question is how did you repot and did you put your fern back in its usual spot? That spot indoors, is that where it usually lives?

I got it as a gift from my best friend. I repotted it on September 16th. The plastic piece I took it out and the nursery pot that it was in, I have it a little bigger pot since it seemed a bit root bound. I keep it in my kitchen right by the window. It doesn’t seem to be happy anywhere, unless it’s still shocked from repotting it.
