Ah! A piccies worth a thousand words, it'll be alright; drop a couple of Chicken manure pellets in the crown to give it a bit of a feed or even some ready made Tree Fern food http://www.deserttojungle.com/products/ ... _food/177/

Make sure you water it every day, lots of water. Your fern is in the process of recovering it will produce bigger fronds again but it will be a few years before it does.green fingers wrote:last week we had a ground frost so decided to bring it into the conservatory as tempature a bit more constiance is there any dos or donts for growing inside ? watering feeding etc !
Was it kept in the conservatory last winter? If so was it watered?
I had the same with my smaller one a few years ago, it was kept in the con over winter and wasn`t watered. I`ve had 2 full flushes from it this year but the fronds are still smaller than I would lik, they are getting bigger each flush though.
