The care secret that transformed my Boston Fern

I'd had Boston Fern for about eight months with acceptable but unremarkable results. Then I started really paying attention to misting the fronds in dry centrally heated rooms and the difference over the next two months was dramatic.

prehistoric elegance with delicate layered fronds became much more pronounced. The plant in a shaded north-facing border under trees now looks like a completely different specimen. spectacular new crozier unfurling in spring confirmed that I'd finally unlocked what this plant can do. crown death from frost on tender varieties has been less of a problem since I got the overall conditions right. If your Boston Fern is underwhelming, look at misting the fronds in dry centrally heated rooms first.
