    I got these 2 plants for free, all the sign said was "ferns". I've looked in all my books and can't figure out what they are. I'd appreciate any help someone on the forum can give me. The one with the tiny delicate leaves, as I'm sure you can see, is just barely surviving, but it was nice when I got it. I hate seeing it die, but I don't know what kind of conditions or how much water it likes. Thanks for taking a look.

    Thanks for your quick responses, Marn and Ron B.
    Ron, I think you nailed it, this is very helpful. Looks like these will do well as indoor plants as long as I keep them in the bathroom w lots of humidity and indirect light.
    So, I'll get them off the porch. Thanks again.
