    I've used 1Tbsp Epsom salt to 1 gal water on my ferns every few weeks. They seem to love it. My ferns were so big!

    That’s awesome! I’ve heard about Epsom salts but haven’t tried it. Maybe using that would help kill those dang worms. Lol! I might have to give it a try. Do you fertilize them also or just only use the Epsom salts?

    I use Epsom Salt too. I mix Miracle Grow, Epsom Salt and worm casting concentrated “tea” all in the same gallon and water that way. Amazon has the worm tea.

    Here’s another tip. Take the same gallon of miracle, Gro, Epson salt and worm tea freeze it in ice cube trays. (Yes they still make those lol) and then lay the cubes in your pots but not near the roots and just let them melt and it will make watering so much easier.

    I put banana, orange, lemon peels in a blender, add a few cups of water, grind everything into a slush. Work it into the soil, water well. My ferns are GORGEOUS!!!!!! I do this 3xs a year. GORGEOUS, all natural, no bugs or chemicals.

When I first got it I would put it in the shower and let the steam settle on it. I love growing them and want to get another one ASAP bc of the success I’ve had with this one. Thank you Tam

    Well Holy Crap! I live in the Southern states and yes I have this problem but not one soul has EVER told me what this was. I knew that ferns reproduce by spores so I didn't figure they were seeds but had a clue they were some kind of pest droppings but never seen any on the ferns. I have lost about all my ferns like this for about 20 years and I have asked people and the same answer comes back. "I don't know what it could be," has all ways be told to me. I never get mine eat like you said but it is killed before the leaves get eat I guess. And today I found your channel and get the answer. No now I know and I know what to do about it now. I have just stopped buying ferns for this reason. Ferns are my favorite house and outdoor plant but I kill every one I get or so I thought it was me. Now I know it isn't. Thank you Tam from the bottom, top and all in-between of my heart. You see, When people post videos like this and I know a lot of my friends thinks no one gets any good from them but they do. Everyone else might have known bout this but i didn't and I still wouldn't tell I seen this video. I am a fan now and going to watch the rest of your videos for more helpful tricks and information. Again THANK YOU.

    You are so sweet and informative thank you for sharing this video! I just explored the woods across the street from my house and took a few cuttings of Fern since it was abundantly everywhere, so beautifully combined with the other plants- it looked like a fairy forest!!!! I’m in south Florida and there’s a lot of construction happening in my city. I always wanted to know what it looked like in the lot across from me... before someone buys it and they tear it down like they did the last few lots in my neighborhood😕 so I went on an adventure with my brother and I’m so glad I did! Anyways I really enjoyed my time watching and learning from this! Thanks again!!

    Ferns here in Florida are just about considered a nuisance plant, especially if they are growing in the ground, they spread like crazy. That might not be such a bad thing, but snakes can hide beneath the fronds. But, some people here do still grow them in planters.

    Lisa Uptagrafft I think the Boston ferns are best in hanging baskets because the fronds droop and get so long. I do have ferns in the ground but they’re the upright kind, so nothing slithery can hide under them!😂There’s so many plants that grow in the ground in Florida that I would love to grow in the ground here! I have ponytail palms in pots and use to have a sago Palm, but lost it😞

    It’s great that you’re warning people about the caterpillars. I’m in NC, and I just got my first Boston Fern last month, and today, I threw it away:( Unbeknownst to me, it was being eaten away by these caterpillars for the last month, and I couldn’t understand the “seeds” (caterpillar droppings) that I kept finding all over the floor. Finally, I found and got rid of one, then two, then three caterpillars, and I thought I was in the clear, but I found what I believe to have been the first moth by the base of the plant last night. Maybe someday I’ll be brave enough to try ferns again (from the North lol), but I don’t think I’d dare have them indoors because of this exact problem. I can’t shake the fear that they’ve built some kind of nest inside my home🤢

    Hiya Tam, this was a superb tutorial. I really enjoyed it, and it was very helpful thankyou. I live in Lancashire, England, and we get lots of wet weather and very little sun. So my ferns thrive well. I was thinking of dividing them at the root ball so that I can use them for ground cover. My friends love my garden as it leads to an upward slope and it's at the slope where I have planted all the shrubs and fern. They tell me that my garden looks like a Japanese garden, so I am happy and thrilled with the outcome of my landscaping attempt.

    I very much enjoyed your advise. Bought my first Boston fern in nearly 40 years a month or so ago from a grocery store. We live in the south but I haven't noticed any catapillar droppings. It's already nearly doubled in size with just watering and MG a few times. My question is, do they get so big to a point they need to be relocated to a larger pot than the one from the grocery store? TIA

    Thank you for your question. I suppose they could, but ferns like to be somewhat root bound. I’m not sure how far south you are, but if you can keep the fern all year round then at some point you may need to repot it. Here in Ky I treat mine as an annual, so it never gets to that point. As long as it’s flourishing and doing good I’d keep it in the same pot, but if you think it needs to be repotted, I’d take a picture of how big it is and ask someone at a local nursery. I hope that helps.☺️

Water daily, spray and fertilize with miracle grow. And let me tell you they are MASSIVE and absolutely beautiful. Every single person that has come over is big eyed and blow away at size and beauty. I will be sad when they go with the weather. I just don't have the room to bring them in along with all my other plants for the winter. You should ck them out next year.
