Boston Fern Problem

Your Boston Fern needs bright indirect light (not just artificial light), regular water but do not allow it to sit in water as this may lead to root rot and a slow release fertilizer formulated for container plants. Outdoors does very well in partial to full shade, but bring indoors if winter frost or hot dry heat is common. We think the most important problem is low light and low humidity. Also, keep the plant moist but not soggy and add fertilizer to the water monthly. Do not place near a heating or air conditioning vent. Can also set up a humidity tray – a saucer filled with gravel/decorative rocks, fill with water and set the plant on top of a brick so it is not in the water – this increases the humidity by about 70% around your plant. It works great!
