Any fern experts?

Post by Reece »

I bought this native fern about 2 months ago. It was under heavy shade cloth and was watered every day according to the lovely woman at the nursery. (I was told it's not a generic fish bone and definitely a native)

I water it a little bit every morning and it's indoors with filtered light.

Leaves are turning white with tiny black blobs. Any ideas?

Leaves turning white I'd guess a sucking insect of some sort?? Those black blobs don't have legs by any chance?

Thanks for the ID Treeman!

Shibui, here are some close-ups. Almost looks like some sort of thrip thing?

What should I treat it with? Are ferns more sensitive?
