Honestly @david_henderson6 is spot on with that advice but it's actually 5 days for most ferns, not 4. They like a thorough soak then total dry out, not a little bit every few days. Just saying.

Wait, people actually girdle trees that deep?

So @blair_davis, you think command strips are beefy enough for a power strip long term? I've been scared to try anything heavier than a light cable comb with those.

Honestly, @lily394 that throw blanket trick is slick but those fake plants are worse because they wilt under a real touch and you just called it out perfectly.

Holding the paper flat and using a light press works fine either way for me.
