So Cool!

I responded to you post on TPT. I'm pretty sure that is not bolbitis. It's a non-aquatic fern that will die in a few months, and it will still look alive for a few months after that before it turns black. Did you get it at petco or petsmart???/

as non-flowering plants, i don't think that it is possible for any ferns to bloom.

The fern is Trichomanes javanicum, also misleadingly known as aqua fern. It invariably dies underwater.

so i was goin to toss it today and notice new fronds starting to come up. if its not an aquatic fern it must like something im doing to start growing again. i will keep it for now and post pics in the morning of the new sprouts
