Matters needing attention in cultivating Boston fern

Fertilizer:

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.

Watering:

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.

Trim:

In order to ensure the beautiful plant shape of Boston fern and promote air circulation, the withered and yellow old leaves should be cut off combined with plastic surgery.

Potted soil:

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

Above to the introduction of the breeding methods and matters needing attention of Boston fern, let's take a look at the role of Boston fern.

Matters needing attention in family culture of Boston fern

Boston fern: is a drooping fern, sexual preference for warm, humid and semi-shady environment, avoid extreme heat. Can be cultured in bright scattered light indoors, can not be subjected to direct light, otherwise the leaf color is easy to turn yellow or lead to leaf edge dry, but can not be cultured in the dark, otherwise the leaves will fall off after a few weeks. Boston fern has strict requirements for moisture and should not be too wet or too dry. It is better to keep the basin soil moist often. In summer, we should pay attention to spraying 2murmuri 3 times a day. In winter, we should reduce watering when the room temperature is low. If the room temperature is above 8 degrees, we can safely survive the winter.

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.
