My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Help!!! Dying Ferns!

15 years ago

I'm trying to transplant some ferns to my shade garden and I'm failing miserably. Not only that but I feel terribly guilty anytime one of the suckers turn brown. I'm in Southwest florida. Does anyone have any success in transplanting ferns? I'm not sure of the types, I'm just looking for general advice at this point. I'm thinking my area may be too windy?
