How to breed Boston ferns? Culture methods and matters needing attention of Boston fern

Culture methods and matters needing attention of Boston fern

1. Lighting

Boston fern likes bright scattered light, it is appropriate to put it indoors with bright scattered light in spring and summer, when the sun is strong, the leaves will turn yellow, and the leaves will turn yellow when the sun is direct. In winter, the light should be increased appropriately, otherwise the leaf color will turn yellow or cause the leaf edge to dry up.

2. Moisture

Boston ferns like humid environments and require high soil and air humidity. Because the roots of Boston fern are adventitious roots, the ability to absorb and retain water is poor, so water must be supplied in time, otherwise drying for too long will easily lead to withered and yellow leaves. The basin soil in spring and summer should always remain moist, but it should not be too wet. It is better to keep the basin soil moist frequently. Besides timely watering, it is also necessary to spray water to the foliar surface in summer. When the room temperature is low in winter, you should reduce watering and keep the soil slightly moist.

3. Fertilization

The fertilization concentration of Boston fern should not be too high, otherwise it is easy to hurt the roots. the best way of fertilization is to add rotten barnyard manure first when filling the pot (changing the basin every other year in spring), and then topdressing with thin fertilizer in the peak growing season. When applying fertilizer, it is necessary to avoid contamination of the leaves. If it is accidentally contaminated, it should be washed with clean water immediately.

4. Temperature

The suitable temperature for the growth of Boston fern is 15-25 ℃, and it can survive the winter safely when it is above 10 ℃ in winter.

Boston ferns change their pots every other year in the spring.

5. Main points of reproduction:

Boston fern can be propagated by ramet method.

Boston fern is often propagated by split-plant method. In summer, small plants with roots from stolons are cut from vigorous plants and can be planted separately.

Cut off the small plants with roots from the stolons from the vigorous growing plants and plant them separately. The separately planted plants are watered thoroughly and placed in the shade for about a week, then they can be transferred to normal maintenance. Ramets are available in spring, summer and autumn.

Boston ferns do not produce sporophytes and can only be propagated by ramets or stalks. Ramet anniversaries can be carried out, especially in spring and autumn. After ramets are watered and placed in the shade, the growth can be restored quickly.

The common method of plant division is to cut off the small plants with roots from the stolons from the growing plants in summer and plant them separately.

6. Pest control:

The main diseases of Boston fern are leaf spot disease and quenching disease.

Insect pests are mainly caused by caterpillars, shell insects, pink scale and nematodes.

Third, the function and use of Boston fern

1. Decorative function
