Tips for Growing Boston Ferns

Caring for Boston ferns is straightforward. They love evenly moist, well-draining soil and thrive in high humidity. Mist regularly or place near a humidifier to mimic their native tropical habitat. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch their delicate fronds; instead, opt for bright, indirect light. During the warmer months, feed your fern with a diluted liquid fertiliser to encourage healthy growth. Repot every couple of years to keep roots thriving.
