Boston Fern

✅ Boston Fern – The Timeless Texture That Brings Spaces to Life

The Boston Fern (Nephrolepis exaltata) also known as the Sword Fern, it gained popularity in Victorian-era parlors and has since become a global favorite in homes for its dense, arching fronds and cooling green tones. At Budsnblush, we love the Boston Fern for its ability to soften hard lines, bring life to forgotten corners, and make any room feel alive, fresh, and well-curated.

✅ Care Guide for Boston Fern

1. Light: Thrives in indirect or filtered bright light; avoid direct sun on fronds

2. Watering:

   • Keep soil evenly moist but never soggy

   • Water when the top 1 inch begins to dry

   • Reduce watering slightly in winter

3. Temperature:

   • Ideal range is 18°C to 36°C

   • Tolerates warm climates if humidity is maintained

4. Humidity:

   • Loves high humidity—essential for lush frond growth
     • Mist 3–4 times weekly or use pebble tray/humidifier
     • Best in bathrooms or kitchens with steam/moisture

5. Soil: Use a loamy, fast-draining mix with peat moss or cocopeat

6. Fertilizer:

   • Apply liquid fertilizer with NPK 19-19-19 once every 3 weeks in growing season

   • Organic options: compost tea or diluted fish emulsion monthly

7. Maintenance:

   • Trim yellow or dry fronds regularly to maintain shape

   • Avoid letting it dry out fully—it’s sensitive to drought stress

   • Repot every 1–2 years or refresh topsoil annually

✅ Common Problems
• Fronds turning yellow: Often due to overwatering or low humidity
• Crispy leaf tips: Sign of dry air or inconsistent moisture—mist more often
• Wilting fronds: May indicate underwatering or root-bound condition
• Pests like mealybugs or mites: Treat with neem oil or insecticidal soap
• Leaf drop: Caused by sudden temperature shifts or drafts
