Q.I painted a terra cotta pot. I was told that because terra cotta is so porous it needed to be sealed both inside and out to prese
rve the paint. I used Krylon Acrylic sealer. Will my Rabbit’s Foot Fern have any problems if planted in the pot? I understand the ferns are sensitive to chemicals.

I have not seen anything about sealing a pot that would be bad for your fern, so long as the paint is dried and hard. Here is an article to help you understand more about your plant:
