anyone have any luck with rabbits foot fern in the viv? I attempted it and it kinda died back....not sure if it needed more air circulation or if i overwatered it(yeah i got carried away!)

In my experience it like high humidity and good lighting, but it doesn't like to be too wet. Since I stopped spraying mine down it has been doing pretty good.

Mine was too happy and took over the viv. I had to tear it out.

My frogs trampled mine to death. They aren't hardy under a tinc's common starting area for climbing the cork background.

Mine is growing on a GS/coco BG and on the glass top. I guess I should have mentioned it seems to enjoy being on a bg

I had to get rid of mine as it was taking over the tank as well. It started in a pot in the background and spread all over the GS/coco fiber background. My story is the same. It did a lot better when I stopped spaying it directly.
