I have both Boston and Asparagus ferns that have lasted years! They LOVE humidity so keep them misted. If they are in hanging baskets, they will need more water than if they are in a container.





If you decide to buy them, make sure you replant them when you get them home. Use a pot one size larger than what they came in. Water with a mixture of a good plant food, such as Miracle Gro, and epsoms salts once every 2 weeks.





Bring them in the house before the first frost, and keep in the bathroom, if possible.
Reply:Just keep them well watered and bring them in when it starts to get cold. They will live a long time if you don't let them freeze.
Reply:I have Boston ferns on my porch, and they are pretty easy. I need to water them twice a week with the drought. I also use Jobe's fertilizing sticks. I haven't had good luck with Asparagus ferns indoors (not enough humidity, I think, and I didn't spray them frequently enough), but they may do well outside.
Reply:Ferns grow wild in my yard in Florida. I have killed many of them in the house here because I have overwatered them. Follow the instructions about repotting when you get home and misting them and don't let them freeze. They will also come back if they do start to die if you ignore them and stop overwatering and cut off the dead stuff, but don't over care for them. They are low maintenance, and I always over maintained. The ones in my yard live on the natural humidity and rainfall and when we water the yard they get water.
