PLANT CARE GUIDE

Light: Place your Boston Fern in a bright indoor location with filtered or indirect natural light. Avoid prolonged exposure to intense sunlight, which can scorch its delicate foliage.

Watering: Water regularly to maintain evenly moist compost. Check the growing medium frequently, particularly during warmer months, and avoid allowing it to dry out completely.

Humidity: Boston Ferns prefer humid surroundings. Increase moisture in the surrounding air with a humidifier or occasional misting where appropriate, particularly during periods of indoor heating.

Temperature: Maintain a comfortable, stable indoor temperature and position the plant away from cold draughts, radiators and direct sources of heat.

Compost: Use a moisture-retentive yet well-draining houseplant compost that supports healthy root development without becoming waterlogged.

Feeding: Apply a diluted, balanced liquid houseplant fertiliser occasionally during spring and summer to encourage healthy foliage growth.

Pruning: Remove dry, damaged or yellowing fronds as needed to maintain a tidy appearance and allow healthy foliage to develop.

Ongoing Maintenance: Monitor compost moisture and humidity regularly. Browning frond tips may indicate excessively dry air, insufficient moisture or other environmental stress.

Pet Safety: True Boston Ferns are generally considered non-toxic to cats and dogs. Correct botanical identification is important, as not all plants commonly called ferns share the same characteristics.
