    Default Peacock fern and others

    I've tried to get peacock fern, a low-growing mosslike fern to grow in my vivarium with no success. Anyone have any tips? Or suggestions for other low growing ferns?

    Is it dying, or just not growing?
    I have been working with spike moss, which I believe is closely related to peacock fern. I killed some immediately by overwatering it. Mine doesn't seem to be growing much, but I seem to be keeping it alive with routine misting of the tanks, and good lighting.

    It's dying. I don't know if it's overwatering or underwatering and with the different conditions in my tank it could be either.

    I'm not much of a plant guy, I'm afraid. My casual observation, though, is that I kill a lot more by overwatering than I do by underwatering, if that helps.
