The Boston Fern Hanging Basket is an easy to grow, popular foliage houseplant. This fern develops graceful, arching green fronds. When selecting a spot for your plant, Boston Ferns are perfect indoors or they can likewise be placed in a shady outdoor location.
After that, to ensure health, make sure your Boston Fern Hanging Basket has high humidity and indirect light. For instance, leaves that are developing a yellow color are indicating the humidity is not high enough. If additional humidity is needed, this is common in winter and where homes are dry, try misting your plant a few times a week. A Boston Ferns soil needs to be damp, if the soil dries out the fronds may turn brown. Finally, make sure to check the soil daily and if it feels dry at all make sure to water.
About Our Plants
Our soil is custom blended and contains only the highest quality Canadian peat. We don’t try to cut cost with cheaper mixes. Additionally, all of our plants are grown with 100 to 180 day time release fertilizer so you won’t be running out of it just when the plants arrive. This is not the case with the quick release 30 day fertilizers that many other companies tend to use.
We do approximately 90% of our own liners. Since the cost is relatively inexpensive, we put twice as many liners in each container for many of the varieties. Accordingly, this makes for a much fuller plant.
All of our plants are given more than adequate spacing. For instance, most of the flowering bushes and trellis plants have 4 square feet of spacing. The Boston fern hanging baskets, for example, have 6 square feet. This allows our plants to grow as big and full as possible.
