Sunlight
Bright, indirect light is ideal for your Boston fern Plant.
Too much shade can result in sparse fronds that aren't as vibrant as they should be.
Furthermore, too much sun might cause the fronds to burn. So, both outside and inside, make sure your Nephrolepis Exaltata plant isn't exposed to direct sunshine.
Watering
Water your Nephrolepis Exaltata Plant when soil seems dry.
Your Boston Fern Plants soil should be gently damp.
Your Nephrolepis Biserrata's foliage can quickly dry out and fall off the plant if the soil begins to dry out. Because the plant is not actively developing during the fall and winter months, watering should be reduced significantly.
However, if the fronds appear to be drying up, increase the amount of water you're providing to your Boston Fern plant.
Soil
Your Nephrolepis Exaltata wants a loamy, organically rich soil with good drainage.
Root rot can be caused by poorly drained soil, which can eventually destroy your Sword Fern plant.
Use a peat-based potting mix for Boston fern plants in containers.
Fertilizer
From spring until early fall, fertilize your Boston fern once a month with a half-strength liquid houseplant fertiliser.
During the late fall and winter months, no fertiliser is required.
Toxicity
Your Boston Fern Plant is toxic for kids and Pets.
Additional Care
Carefully snip out a portion of the Boston fern with healthy roots attached before repotting your plant in the spring. With adequate care, even very few parts can become established as new plants.
Plant your exotic plant in fresh potting soil, keeping the soil mildly moist at all times.
Also, keep your Sword Fern plant comfortable and out of direct sunshine, away from draughts and temperature swings. You'll know it's taken root when you feel resistance when gently pushing on the base of the fronds.
Troubleshooting
Are your Boston Fern roots peeping through the soil? If that's the case, it's time to repot it. Remove the fern from its old pot gently and replant it in a new pot with the fresh potting mix at the same depth.
Are your Nephrolepis Exaltata plants' leaves falling off at a faster rate than you expected? If the defoliation is severe, simply trim back the plants and let them regrow.
