Updates on the Birds Nest Ferns.

Unfortunately even over summer there hasn’t been enough light inside for Harry’s fern. Ron’s fern (above and below) has been doing reasonable outside, so has been brought inside.

To resolve the light issue, an LED grow light has been purchsed for above the pot. Grow lights have also been purchased for all the indoor plants.

The pole at the back is the LED light stand, and the green device is a soil moisture meter linked to the weather station.

Below is Harry’s fern, which might not surrive 🙁 . It has been moved outside to see if it recovers or needs replacement.

This is why working with an ‘A’ lister like Bugs is so great. When a way of tracking the two Birds Nest Ferns which are to be rotated inside and outside was discussed, Bugs went straight to his Warner Bros. contacts and came up with a celebrity option – the young wizards Harry Potter and Ron Weasley!

Harry and Ron will stay with their ferns as they are rotated, and Bugs will bring updates on the ferns progress as the year progresses. Harry and his fern will start indoors. Ron and his fern are outside on the veranda.
