Hi, your honor plants growers.
I come again to seek your help. I bought 2 big 10" pots of Boston ferns from a neighboring town nursery. They were full and flourishing, green and vigorous when arrived. Now about one month later, they seem not very happy, shedding lot of fronds, many leaves/stems turn dark, appearing dull and lifeless, dying... I realize my 9b zone is not even a ok place for this BF. But I did I can: water and mist them daily, place them close to indirect sunlight, ... Still I think the high heat and dryness have made them pay so much! Regarding humidity, I recently made them pebble water tray hoping to add some humidity. But I really don't know if I can still have hope on keeping them live? Need all the helps and advice. Thanks
Always have this question: is it possible over-watering BF? Are their roots subject to rot by over-watering? What happen if over-watering? I know if over-watering Pothos and ivy, their leaves would turn yellow.
I found ShadyGreenThumb is the possibly only grower of BF (in this Forum) who is in a close zone 9a area. Hope he/she could chine in to give some special advice.
