I have or should I say had a beautiful boston fern, and well now it is dying. It has plenty of water, light, I just don't know what to do, all the leaves are crunchy, well not all of them but a lot and I really don't want it to die, what should I do?
Why is my Boston Fern dying?
Check for mites, avoid placing in area like by a vent or door. Check to be sure it's not root bound it might need repotting.
If you repot water with a B-1 shock preventative

Reply:ferns grow in the woods right...so take it down water it real good pull off all the old leaves spray it with soapy water the leaves then set it in a saucer or something to catch water then hang it in the shade keep it there spray the leaves everyday with water...the soap will kill any spiders and bugs..
Reply:try misting it, that should help.
Reply:It may also require a light fertilizer -- try some Peters it is great.
Reply:Boston ferns do not need a lot of water.Your best bet would be to remove it from pot,and re-plant it.Then get an atomiser and occasionally mist the leaves.Never water on soil round plant. Also bostons like it shady.Remove all the dead stuff,put it somewhere cool, shady, and away from draughts.
