Boston Fern is an easygoing houseplant that stays looking its best with a little regular care. Gently remove dust from the fronds with a soft cloth or give the foliage a light rinse every now and then to help it absorb light efficiently. Turn your Boston Fern every few weeks to encourage even growth and prevent it from leaning toward the light. Trim away any yellow, brown, or damaged fronds at the base to keep the plant looking healthy and full, and lightly trim any longer fronds to maintain its natural shape. If your Boston Fern eventually outgrows its pot, it's time to repot it. easyplant offers a repotting kit with everything you need, including a larger pot that's best used once the plant has clearly outgrown its current one, as the extra soil holds more moisture.
With easyplant, simply check the reservoir once a month and refill it if needed. Without easyplant, water when the top inch of compost feels dry.
Brown tips are usually caused by the compost becoming too dry, low humidity or inconsistent watering. Keeping the compost evenly moist will help prevent this.
