Boston Fern tips

16 years ago

hey everyone! I have this beautiful Boston Fern. I put it outside durring the warm months and I bring it in for the chilly months. It does absolutely wonderful outside, it gets really big and bushy. But diring the winter when I have it in it sheds like crazy and it gets a bit thin too. Is this a normal fern thing or might my apartment be too dry? I try to keep at 60-65 degrees.

Thanks
