They're covered with plastic covers and fastened with rubber bands/metal strings.

Time to grow some ferns emersed. :)

How it started in Jan:

How it is now:

The ferns just need really high moisture but less water logging near their roots. They took a while to adjust to emersed growth and are now growing fast. :) There are only Windelov and needle ferns in that container.

Cheers,

Karthik
