Professional tip
The secret to success with Boston ferns? Humidity, humidity, humidity! Place the pot on a tray of pebbles and water (but don't let the water touch the pot), mist daily, or place it near a humidifier. The ideal spot? A bright bathroom! The natural humidity there will make it happy. Bonus tip: If your fern looks "dead" with lots of brown leaves - don't give up! Cut off any damaged leaves, water well, and it sometimes comes back to life within weeks.
