Boston Fern Plant

Boston Fern Plant is an easy to grow plant and also is easy to care provided, it receives a good amount of bright indirect sunlight or partial shade and high humidity. A lush green Boston fern plan grew as a houseplant.  This fern needs high humidity and moist soil that should never be allowed to dry out. Place near kitchens and bathrooms for higher humidity or set on a tray of wet pebbles. In  winter, reduce watering since the plant is dormant. Overwatering can lead to root rot. This plant removes indoor air pollutants well. 

They produce spores on the underside of the leaves.  These are dark brown to black dots that appear in a pattern. Do not mistake these for insect or disease damage.

SOIL:

•  It Provide a loose, a well-draining soil mixture, not much. The Peat moss can be a great alternative for soil which will maintain a high humid condition.
•  More prolonged period of dry soil will turn the fronds yellow and your plant might even die.

LIGHT:

• Do not let direct sunlight touch the foliage, the leaves may become scorched.
• An ideal location will be where filtered sunlight or partial shade is available.

WATERING:

• They prefer moist soil, make sure the soil is damp.
• Drooping of leaves is possible if the plant is underwatered or overwatered.

PRUNING:

• Pruning is not required much. Do remove the yellow and brown fronds.

FERTILIZING:

• Ferns are not a fan of fertilizers. They hate the inorganic build-up on the topsoil.
