Beloved for its air-purifying qualities and rich texture, the Boston Fern is also surprisingly easy to care for once you meet its basic needs. With enough humidity and gentle light, it will thrive and reward you with continuous, vibrant growth.
-
Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Too much direct sun can cause the fronds to crisp, while too little light may lead to sparse growth.
-
Water: Keep the soil consistently moist, but not soggy. Boston Ferns do not like to dry out completely—regular watering is key, especially during warmer months.
-
Humidity: Loves high humidity.
-
Temperature: Best kept in temperatures between 16–24°C.
-
Soil: Use a rich, well-draining potting mix with good moisture retention.
-
Feeding: Feed monthly in spring and summer with a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer. Hold off during the dormant winter months.
