I think it's just fine, but i think it might take a long time to meet your expectation, I'm glad easyplant realized that it was not the best of quality, maybe show us in a month or 2 how it responded to your black thumbs, lol ..
I wouldn’t have complained if it wasn’t a $49 plant. Most of that is paying for their patented pot, but still. Premium price drives an expectation of premium product.
@@kev-reviews Remember thier is shipping costs , packaging material , and cost to get plant to existing height , paper work & literature , telephone customer service. not leaving much profit in that business.
There is no telephone support. It’s all chat or email. Also, every business has packing and shipping costs. If I wanted a spindly little fern I could have bought one from many sellers and had it shipped for $10-$15 total. easyplant is a premium offering, and 4 out of my 5 plants have been absolutely premium. I take no shame in expecting what I pay for 💸
@@OcRefrig Quit making excuses for them. Kev is right. Premium price=premium product and premium service. Frankly, I think buying a plant from the internet complete with fed-x type delivery is ridiculous in the extreme. Most nurseries are locally owned and managed and with experienced help and not people looking at a chart or something. I would have sent this back, not so much because of the plant, but the pot. I'm sorry, that pot isn't green.
When grown indoors, Blue Star Fern can be expected to grow to be about 3 feet tall at maturity, with a spread of 24 inches. It grows at a fast rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for approximately 20 years. Fast Grower. i Don't know if you are actually watering your plants with evian or Fiji or tap water in a evian bottle but you might want to ask customer service if evian is ok for plants if you are actually serving them evian etc. to the best of my knowledge plants require some minerals which bottled water might not be providing. easy plant might spec out tap water. R. o. water is what some bottled water can be. not good for humans or plants. R. o. is absent of ALL minerals. Simple filtered tap water is what i'd recommend for plants & humans. no R. o. Been doing water filtration for over 40 years.
A seasoned plant person. Nice. They liked that I used Evian and Fiji. Both are natural spring water with natural minerals. They aren’t stripped or purified. No chlorine/chlorimine, but all the good stuff. Evian is also a neutrally balanced pH (7.2). Fiji (7.7). So far the plants are loving it. I look forward to seeing how fast this plant grows since it has so far to fill out. It will also be interesting to compare it to the replacement. I’ve read ferns can be finicky, so this will be true test 🤞
Evian is Naive backwards. It's bad enough wasting money on bottled water and generating plastic waste, but to water a plant? What you might want to try is to fill a (large) baking pan with a small amount of water, like 1/2 an inch. Let it sit out on the stove for a few hours. The extreme surface area to volume ratio will allow all the chlorine to evaporate out in a few hours. Or just a Brita or other pitcher filter. Nearly all bottled water is filtered tap water. Plants really don't want pure water anyway. They want minerals in the water. You can try adding some rock dust to the pot or the water.
Dog is God backwards. It’s a good thing words don’t matter in reverse. My city uses chloramine, not chlorine. It takes hours of boiling, and even then it’s not eliminated, not to mention the extra energy that would take. Activated charcoal filters also only reduce, not eliminate chloramine. Reverse osmosis works, but that means investing in a system, which based on your stated concerns would be more wasteful. Evian is $1.25 for a 1-liter bottle. Bottles are completely recyclable. I think the use of bottle water in this case would be the best choice for the plants and the environment.
@@kev-reviews Evian is not an English language word. It's a made up brand name and not an accident of the English language like god and dog. I don't know where you are buying these one liter bottles (an extremely rare size in the US) of water for 1.25. You simply cannot buy a 20oz water for less than 1.50, usually 2 dollars or more plus a 2 cents per ounce tax, though that is unique to my area. Chloramines are a chemical category. They contain chlorine and ammonia. Given that ammonia is poison (just the gas of ammonia can kill you) and extremely corrosive, I wouldn't want to drink it. They are trying to develop a large engine for container ships running of ammonia and the fumes and corrosive nature of ammonia are extreme barriers to making this work.
@tarstarkusz I’m guessing you aren’t aware that Evian is a French water, and that the name comes from a French city. Regarding chloramine: it is used locally and is quite popular nationally from what I’ve heard.

@tarstarkusz I knew the pot was an almond color. The color in person is perfectly represented by the pictures on their site….the plant, less so
I think you should put it outside for a day or maybe 2 days. It needs some air and full sunlight assuming it isn't too hot.
That’s a good way to introduce bugs into a house. Might be better for the plant, but bad for my sanity 🤪

Perhaps your stools and tables ARE level and your house is not
It’s both 😂
