Here are my tips to grow big beautiful boston ferns! At the end of the season they can look tired and begin to get those little green worms that strip your leaves! Keep them fertilized throughout the season and keep them sprayed with an organic spray to keep them looking great right up until frost! As always leave your questions below. If you have a garden question, I have a garden answer!

Turns out my current ones are still hanging on, just by being on the porch. We will see if they make it thru these cold days. Hope you have a wonderful holiday season.

The cold snap in December took my Boston fern, I’m so hurt by this, it was four years old and huge, the large I’ve ever seen. Ill be starting over with a new one!

@rockfishfarm3185 Год назад

Oh no! I bet that was big and beautiful! Well, now you’ll be able to nurture another fern baby :)

Hi, your ferns are beautiful! However, how do you manage the drainage from your self watering planters? I have the Tierra Verde Sonata planters, much like the ones that you have and they tend to drain duty water all over my porch when I water my ferns. It does not appear that my ferns like to be watered every three days or so. So, I'm having to water them everyday lightly. Thanks!

@rockfishfarm3185 Год назад

With a self watering container you won't need to water that often. I water about once a week during hot summer weather.

@raggs2912 Год назад

@@rockfishfarm3185 Thanks for your response! Do you allow excess water to drain from your planter or do you use the pug to contain the excess water (if your planter comes with a plug)? Thanks!

@rockfishfarm3185 Год назад

@@raggs2912 I use the plug, but watch..... If it rains a lot and gets full, I drain them

@heathercampbell2887 2 года назад

At what temperature should they be brought inside for the night? 40s....50s? I'm finding contradicting information online. We are still having some cold nights here.

@raggs2912 2 года назад

When temperatures drop below 40 degrees.

Do you use the moon cycles to plant?

@rockfishfarm3185 3 года назад

@lovealwaysjasmine 3 года назад

Can I keep them outdoors all year long in zone 7?

@rockfishfarm3185 3 года назад

No, you cannot. I just get new each year

@gala9593 3 года назад

Have you had any rotten roots on those planters?

@rockfishfarm3185 3 года назад

No. They do really well.

Hey! I got these from target in their garden section! I think I saw some at my target this spring!

@alethomas8496 2 года назад

Hi! Im a beginner! After mixing the 4 tblspoons per gallon of bug spray… about how much of the gallon do you use per fern? Is it a light mist of the leaves or are you saturating with it? Are you putting any in the root system?

@rockfishfarm3185 2 года назад

I do all in the root system, at the base of the plant. In beginning of the season I do about half a gallon per fern. Towards end of the season when they're huge sometimes I'll do whole gallon per fern.

@alethomas8496 2 года назад

@@rockfishfarm3185 thank you! I surely would have just sprayed the bug spray on the leaves.. glad I waited lol

@rockfishfarm3185 2 года назад

@@alethomas8496 bug spray goes on the leaves, yes. I'm sorry. I thought you were referring to the fertilizer.
