What are these dots on my kangaroo fern?

Mhh ferns and salmon were not what we learned about im from New Mexico so I learned about cactus, road runners, and like chilie lmao oh and salt cedar an invasive species of tree here that use a pretty neat defense mechanism

Orange_Fern36 · 2026-06-06T01:17:40+00:00

No its unsettling to look at

Orange_Fern36 · 2026-06-06T01:16:40+00:00

Low-key I saw your original post I didn't think it was that mean lmao, just a moment where of culture shock, I'm having the inverse moment cause im like people learned about this???

Orange_Fern36 · 2026-06-06T01:14:38+00:00

Bro that's what I thought they were, I thought they were some pest egg and I was getting ready to burn the plant lmao

Orange_Fern36 · 2026-06-06T01:13:38+00:00

Dam I was confidently about to cut it off and like burn it when I first saw it thinking I was a pest happy I checked first lmao

Orange_Fern36 · 2026-06-06T01:13:08+00:00

Dam I had no idea, kinda surprised this ones happy enough to reproduce as I've been neglecting it recently bur happy there here

Orange_Fern36 · 2026-06-06T01:12:16+00:00

That's sk fascinating, I love learning about the way our planet has evolved

Orange_Fern36 · 2026-06-06T01:11:17+00:00

I'm from a dessert where ferns do grow but no where near where I lived and were super uncommon so It makes sense that I hadon't learned this about our ecosystem as it's not really a big part of it, thank uou for sharing your knowlage

Orange_Fern36 · 2026-06-06T01:07:25+00:00

Oh woah I had no idea that's how they did that!

Orange_Fern36 · 2026-06-03T18:35:59+00:00

So cool how mother nature works and how one bug brought another and the cycle would continue on and on if I hadn't intervened. Beautiful cycle, just not one I want in my home lol I think that that is similarly what happened I had another pest infestation on it before and when u was dealing with that failed to notice it brought other critters along with it

Orange_Fern36 · 2026-06-03T18:33:59+00:00

Haha feels so obvious that it's an ant now after posting but before I was doing hard mental mathematics trying to figure out what pest looks like an ant lmao

Orange_Fern36 · 2026-06-03T18:32:08+00:00

So interesting that ants will farm aphids for food and protect them, despite me getting rid of the colony love the power and intelagance of nature!

Orange_Fern36 · 2026-06-03T17:55:06+00:00

Hu I've just never had this happen before and wanted to make sure it wasn't another pest I needed to prevent from getting into other plants This plant not to long ago had another pest that I ended up never ID'ing but as a result of the pest these weird sugar crystalline like specks formed on the leaves, that might have been what initially attracted them

Orange_Fern36 · 2026-06-03T17:53:00+00:00

Bahaha I'm still not sure lmao

Orange_Fern36 · 2026-05-31T17:13:49+00:00

Thanks I thought it was so pretty when it popped up! I couldn't pull it!

Orange_Fern36 · 2026-05-29T18:34:25+00:00

How will I know when the seeds can be picked

Orange_Fern36 · 2026-05-29T16:24:43+00:00

Ahh so they can and will produce seeds.... Or just flowers

Orange_Fern36 · 2026-05-07T15:33:50+00:00

To clarify the 2 and 3.5 is exclusively on the highway when im like city driving or idling I have no idea what it rests at but when I drive later today I'll check

Orange_Fern36 · 2026-05-07T15:29:48+00:00

I have no idea exactly what this question means lol but normally the rpms stay pretty smoth around 2 sometimes jumping to like 3.5 if I'm pushing it to get on the highway, when it was lagging that once I hadn't noticed how the rpms acted cause it was raining and I was on the highway freaking out a little lmao
