She filled a pail with water and let it sit in the large laundry sink or kitchen sink if this is all you have. Then she would take the fern in its original pot and immerse the, pot only, into the water in the pail. (Not the leaves) She held it there til she could not hear or see any more bubbles and lifted the fern to the side of the pot for the excess water to drain for a few minutes before she moved it back into its decorative urn. The trick is to keep the soil moist but not stand in water. I do this at least once a week in the summer and if we are going through a heat spell... even more often. In the winter once a week is plenty. You can tell it needs water because the pot will be much lighter in weight. Good luck with the fern. I think they add so much good oxygen into a home!Constancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00151424121439264405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5993076650660686412.post-18818107673068232612012-08-10T18:20:22.288-07:002012-08-10T18:20:22.288-07:00I love that fern!

We had a lizard trapped between the screen and the window, but I learned my lesson after you house and didn't touch that window! They say the lizard was more scared than me...I doubt it! Sorry I kinda provoked him into your house!Muchehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08491471829047068926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5993076650660686412.post-76769875182100091752012-08-01T13:50:49.979-07:002012-08-01T13:50:49.979-07:00Glad you were able to trap the little guy.

I couldn't stand the thought of walking downstairs and seeing a frog jumping around in the window. I made them set it free!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04414019794076813521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5993076650660686412.post-46498223997704789392012-07-30T08:53:04.573-07:002012-07-30T08:53:04.573-07:00Oh Sarah, I freak out with lizards.

She'd drop them in the living room and meow and I knew to grab the glass bowl and a paper plate. It was awful. The first lizard that I had to clean up by myself took 45 minutes I was so scared. Not fun. Hope this is your last one.Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06104201885228074043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5993076650660686412.post-13298461974623689192012-07-25T13:25:05.150-07:002012-07-25T13:25:05.150-07:00I've had a couple of lizards scramble into my ...I've had a couple of lizards scramble into my house too. EEEKKKK! One scrambled under a bookcase and when I looked under there I saw a GIANT wolf spider and freaked. Then I realized that the wolf spider was fake and David must have stuck it under there eons ago.

I usuall...yes, we've had reptile visitors too! I usually open the back door wide and take a broom to them. Once I swept one too far and he landed in the pool. I felt bad, so I fished him out with the net and intended to fling him into a planter near the fence, but he ended up going over the fence. Poor lizard was probably traumatized, and I need to learn my own strength I guess!!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16822720865388103513noreply@blogger.com
