Asking for tips with my Boston fern

13 years ago

Hey folks,

I just posted some pictures of my Boston fern on my blog, and I was wondering if the experts would weigh in and give me some tips.

The fern isn't really suffering or anything, but I have some general questions about fertilization. What is a good fertilizer for ferns? Even balance (10-10-10)?

Thanks!

I use 20-20-20 quarter to half strength every time I water. First I water with plain water and let sit for a couple of hours, and then follow up with the fertilizer water. Grows like crazy and looks great. I always divide and repot in the spring as I get great growth throughout the year. Hope this helps.
