Hypothesis

[Jean Doherty]

Trying to work out what would rejuvenate a very tired fern which has
suffered from our drought conditions. Looking for a plant or plants to
treat that might show improvement in a short time. Looking at following
rubrics
GENERALITIES; SUN, from; exposure to; agg. or ailments from (K1404, SII-616,
G1158) (Light; sunlight) (SKIN; Eruptions; sun, from exposure to) (90) :

It would seem it might be worth while trying Ars as ferns are ??

Very creative thinking, Jean. Let us know how the fern does, OK? Fascinating. ) Rosemary

[J Lucas]

Ferns love shade and damp but with some humidity, they tend to go brown and
shrivelled under drought conditions. A lack of nutrients would also be
involved. So I would add

Heated, becoming >>
Wet and warm >>>
Skin, shrivelled

X-Ray, Sulfanilamide or Sol maybe

Thanks Rosemary. Thanks Joy. Sol could come in. Had not known about it
. Read your recent article. I presume X-ray covers the burning and
shrivelling. Do not know Sulphanilamide. . Unfortunately have not these
remedies available. Went to bed last night thinking of Phos Ac as fern in
question seemed so apathetic and had suffered so much. I must research what
nutrients would be useful. Best wishes Jean

Jean,

You might try Hypericum, which I used years ago to rescue a fading fern.
