Episode 11: Heart Fern Plant Info (Hemionitis Arifolia) 

Personally, I find this plant to be very forgiving. After having it for a while, I monitor how the leaves look to see if it needs water. A couple of times it completely dried out and the leaves curled, some browned. I almost threw it out, but decided to water it well and see. Many of the leaves came back and I cut of the ones that didn’t. I would avoid letting this happen, but do rehydrate before throwing it out. I find this plant to be very resilient and it’s one of my favorite plants. LOVE ❤️ it

The heart leaf fern is one of my all time favourite ferns. I love their fronds and their ability to grow plantlets from the fronds.

Thank you so much I have been trying to figure out my plant name and care. It was going well over all...I looked it this morning an it was dry a bone and wilted severely Oops. I immediately watered it and to my happy surprise it bounced back in a couple of hours! So thankful ,and now I am on track :-)

I wish I'd watched this before I got my heart fern... :) I almost lost the plant - one minute it was adorable and healthy... the next it was a crispy critter. I was crushed because I'd only had it about a week and was so excited about it. I checked a few sites for some pointers and decided to try to save it. I watered it and started to mist it several times a day. After a couple of days a few of the leaves started to unfurl. Then I pruned it aggressively and now I have new growth. Phew!! I hated to give up on it. I just got another tiny heart fern and I'm excited to see how they do.

Absolutely beautiful plants you had , enjoy watching and see you around

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE INFORMATION on the beautiful heart leaf fern. I found my first one and then found one that kinda looked like the first one but different. Turns out I now have one of each. I just really appreciate someone being able to point out the difference, which you just did, again, thank you for sharing your information with us.

I just picked up my fern yesterday, so thank you for all the info on this cute little fern.

Ahhhh Does no one know these are piggyback plants? 2:09 That little fuzzy dot at the top of the stem, where it meets the leaf is a little clone, snip that leaf and plug it into the ground and that little clone will grow quite fast! You can make a million of these in a couple years if you try

Loved the video, I'm struggling with making mine happy so this was very helpful. 06:40 gassing off the hard tap water doesn't soften it by any means, it merely allows the chlorine & chloramines to gas off so there's no 'bleach' in the water. What makes it hard is the minerals which do not gas off, being that they are solids. A good substitute for soft water is Distilled or collected rainwater that is completely mineral free. Keep up the good work, was a fun & informative video!

I love this plant but its hard to grow. Im on my secound plant. I hope i can keep this one alive👍

I have a tiny heart fern that grows plantlets from the leaves but I can't find anything about this ... Can anyone help me with info ?

Thank you so much for the info. I’ve had 2 with disastrous results. But I do love it so going to try again using these guidelines! 🤗...(That’s if I can find one😩)

I've been wondering why one tall leaf had a brown underside while all my other leaves did not. Spores!!! Thank you so much for solving that mystery. Curious how to propegate this plant.

...wow thank you very informative information about that plant..first time i know its name,even that i have one...but i notice the difference mine has snake skin like pattern on its leaves,if i just can show you its photo...thank you for sharing from Philippines...

i just got mine heart fern 🥰

I have hemionitis arifiola twenty five...thank for u information brother...im form indonesia..

Mine is growing baby leaf’s on top of the larger leafs. Is there a reason? Or can I propagate them?

Theres a lot in our place, that is very common only here in the Philippines

Does the heart fern grow new leaves? On my first week from purchased it kinda dried up,,,, i watered and it came back healthy. But all the baby leaves didn’t make it. Will it grow new leaves?

LET'S BE FRONDS LMAO subscribed!

Update: mine was doing good till ONE day of no misting and watering its all swivered up☹️☹️. Its also in a pebble tray. Help!
