For what it’s worth, I’ve always watered my Bostons from the bottom up overnight. When the pot feels light, I fill a plastic basin 1/3 full and set the fern in it before I got to bed. In the morning, I place the fern back on its plant stand where it easily drains excess water. Been doing this for 30 years with great success.

I inherited a Boston fern from my mother (she called it Mr Boston lol). It is over 45 yrs old and has been divided many times. It was the only house plant I ever remember her having. She had the perfect growing conditions both inside and out and it was beautiful. I've had it about 7 yrs now and it's doing OK but not as well as when she had it. It's due to be divided again and I will use your recommendations for the soil mix. Thanks for the tips I hope to keep it going and pass it down to the next generation

I've killed a few ferns long before I got into plants... it has instilled this fear of buying them. So thanks for your tips!

Two years ago we moved and now practically live in the woods. Lowe's had a clearance rack with dying Boston Ferns, big ones, very brown, for $3.99. And I thought, what the heck so I bought 2 of them and put them outside. We get very little sunlight because of all the trees around but we also had ferns growing wild all over the place. I took them out of their pots, transplanted them into bigger pots, added some fresh potting soil, watered them, let them get rained on and sat back waiting for them to die. Little by little they began growing new fronds and by the fall they looked like something you'd pay $50.00 for! They were huge, gorgeous! I brought them into the garage for the winter and someone left the garage door open where they got blasted with icy cold temps, of course they died soon after. This year, 4 new clearance ferns for$3.00 each and they've done the same, tripled in size and are lovely. I'm going to bring them in the house where they will likely perish before they can make it back outside next spring. Wish me luck!

Great video thank you my boston fern is about 3x's the size of yours. We had a early start with winter here in st. paul. she got a bit burned by the cold - I bring her outside for the summer. She is slowly back in her indoor garden spot. Humidity is a factor. I have about 15 different fern varieties I grow in my old Victorian House basement. No heat but it stays at the coldest 65f (when it's -40 outside) to about 72F. My indoor garden is actually little furnaces that keep it the rest of the gang warm. I do moisture spray with my "PETRA" sprayer to keep average around 50% - we don't like mold! It's wonderful during the winter because I go into my Tropic flowering mancave after working outside in -40 degree weather. I'm growing oranges, limes, lemons, bananas, 4- types of passion fruit etc in my basement. My winter tropical garden is about 1200 sqft with lighting with LED Daylight/kelvin in shop lights and bulbs. My power usage is only 500 watts. You don't need those expensive power hunger LED lights unless you might be growing the other stuff . This is my 4th season the experiment paid off so much that my garden grew another 100%. FYI If your going to introduce plants in Quarentine them and treat the soil.

Here in Central Florida when we bought our house it was overgrown with ferns under an oak tree. Thanks for the tips because the one I dug up and put in a pot isn’t “popping.”

My Boston Ferns are thriving! I water really well with a hose, making sure that every part of the soil is drenched. I also sprinkle water on the top Green Layer. I place it outside in indirect light. I do this every other day at least. My Boston fern loves water because it gets hot and humid here.

I really enjoyed your video and learned a lot! Thank you for being Epic! 🌱💚

Empress, my 4' Boston Fern, was difficult to move this summer, even though 9 doors down, because of winding up all her runners & placed them into 6 med/large containers. Waiting until it's cooler to change her soil. She gets less sun than the other place, & she & my African Violets love their nightly misting, helps them to grow bigger! If you doubt misting: My 3 biggest African Violets were 35" - 37.5", under perfect humidity and lighting conditions. Ferns & Violets grow great together!

Are your violets indoors in pots? I’m surprised they like misting, since their leaves are fuzzy and hold water which can cause fungus. I tried misting one of mine a couple times a week and the leaves rotted &turned black. Everything I read says to water from the bottom or soak and don’t get leaves wet. Of course, I don’t know how one can do that if ground planted. But congrats if yours are good with it. 😊

I usually bottom feed my potted plants,.... by misting the surface to moisten the top, then I pour food/water into a feeding tray and allow the plant to take up whatever i wants...this uses 2-3 times the amount fed from the top. ( it wont work if you dont wet the top or most top soil first, as it creates a seal that stops the soil from having dry spots) Thanks for the videos!

I have two Boston Ferns that I got from the home center last spring. I hung both plants under the eve of my covered front porch. They looked great and added some nice curb appeal to my home. Soon, several house wrens nested in the plants over the summer which made it very difficult to water. When the weather started getting cooler, I left them outside too long. They have since been inside and the birds are no longer an impediment. Now they both look scraggly. There are two or three healthy new shoots but the surface of the soil is just a tangled mess of dried fronds. I have cleaned up all of the dried and dead fronds but the cut stems in the soil remain. Is there any hope for saving these two plants? If so, What should I do to revive them?

An extremely useful tool to get watering right is a moisture meter. Far more accurate than a finger and especially useful for tight-in-a-pot plants with crowded stems like ferns. I consistently over-watered until I bought one and started using it. I have a black thumb with most ferns, especially Bostons for some reason. Not sure if I will try again. They die mid winter. Most likely guess would be too low humidity, since I don't run a humidifier.

I have used one since 2011 and it is for moisture only: not the ones with multi-functions or a light or any other "bells and whistles." It is still working like a charm for me. Like any sensing equipment, the tip should be wiped clean and it should not be banged around. Many people believe their unit is malfunctioning when they place it in different areas of the pot and it reads different each time. That is because unless you are using a very uniform potting mix, moisture levels WILL be different within the pot. It is normal for these readings to occur. The moisture meter finds moisture pockets at the center bottom of a pot, something no finger can reach. This prevents over-watering.
