The Boston Fern, also known as the ‘Bostoniensis’, is a popular fern that many people prefer to plant. The plant is well-loved among people for its arching green fronds, and it looks especially appealing in a plant stand or a hanging container where the ferns cascade over the sides. All these reasons make the plant one of the most sought-after plants, which is why we are going to tell you how you can grow a Boston fern perfectly. 

Where to put a Boston fern?

A Boston fern needs a place with plenty of light or able to be in half shade in a warm room—keeping it out of the sun and away from drafts or heaters is very important. It can easily go in a very humid bathroom as a very good humidity source.

How to grow a Boston fern?

Your Boston fern will do well at first in the pot that you bought it in, but once it becomes too big for its pot, then repotting it into a bigger pot every other year is advised. The soil that you use can be a mixture of multipurpose and soil-based compost in equal parts.

How to propagate a Boston Fern?

If you have increasing amounts of patience, you may try to get the spores from the leaves' undersides - the process is simple: just wait until they turn brown and crispy and then put them on top of moist compost in a tray, mist them to keep them moist. If you cannot remove the spores, you can go the easier way and place sections of leaves, spore side down, directly on compost.
