This fern loves humidity! I shower mine once every week and a half and she loves it! The leaves can turn a little crispy on the edges but I just snip them off if they’re bothering me. It’s survived the longest out of me collection, and the temperature doesn’t seem to bother her too much, which is why she’s one of my faves!

My plant seems to dry out super fast to the point we’re I have to water it a lot. I have already reported it and it still requires so much upkeep to keep it happy.

I killed one of these before by overwatering it, so I am being very careful with this one. It browns easily but bounces back quickly. I heard they grow quickly but mine is not. I got it quite damaged so now it is healing, which it is doing quite quickly.

Super low maintenance! While my other plants need constant monitoring, this one is very independent. As long as I water occasionally and keep in indirect light 🤌*chefs kiss*

I’m the shade or indirect light, in specific climates, this plant is super easy to care for - I do, however, mist the plant regularly

Very fussy, likes lots of indirect sun- leaves scorch very easily so don't have this guy in direct bright light.

I love this fern because it’s an heirloom and it’s beautiful when green but dang it’s hard to please. Browns easily and difficult to keep clean.

I’ve had this Boston Fern for two years. It’s easy to look after. Just water, feed and light. I have mine positioned in a south facing window.
