DETAILS
Onderhoudsinstructies
Boston Ferns prefer bright, indirect light and should be kept in a location with moderate temperatures and high humidity. Water the plant regularly to keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Avoid placing the plant in direct sunlight as it can scorch the fronds.Bodem
Boston Ferns thrive in well-draining, loamy soil that retains moisture without becoming waterlogged. A mix of peat, pine bark, and perlite is ideal. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent water from accumulating at the bottom.Kunstmest
Fertilize Boston Ferns with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer (10-10-10) every 4-6 weeks during the growing season. Reduce feeding during the winter months when the plant's growth slows down.Verpotten
Repot Boston Ferns every 1-2 years or when the plant outgrows its current pot. Choose a pot that is one size larger and refresh the soil mix. Gently remove the plant from its old pot, trim any dead roots, and place it in the new pot with fresh soil.Voortplanting
Boston Ferns can be propagated through division. The best time to propagate is during repotting in the spring. Carefully separate the root ball into smaller sections, ensuring each section has healthy roots and fronds. Plant the divisions in separate pots with fresh soil.Snoeien
Prune Boston Ferns regularly to remove dead or yellowing fronds. This helps maintain the plant's appearance and encourages new growth. Use clean, sharp scissors or pruning shears to cut the fronds at the base.Toxiciteit
Boston Ferns are non-toxic to pets and humans, making them a safe choice for households with animals and children.Aanvullend
To maintain high humidity levels, consider placing a humidifier near the plant or setting the pot on a tray filled with pebbles and water. Misting the fronds regularly can also help increase humidity.BRENG EEN REVOLUTIE TEWEEG IN UW PLANTENVERZORGING
