The Tiger Boston Fern, a variegated variety of the classic Boston fern, brings a vibrant twist to indoor and outdoor spaces.
Here's a breakdown of Tiger Boston Fern care:
Key Care Considerations:
Light:
Tiger Boston ferns thrive in bright, indirect light.
Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the delicate fronds.
A location near a window with filtered light is ideal.
Watering:
Maintain consistently moist soil.
Water regularly, but avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot.
Check the soil moisture regularly, and water when the top layer feels slightly dry.
During winter months, reduce watering slightly.
Humidity:
These ferns prefer high humidity.
Increase humidity by:
Misting the fronds regularly.
Placing the plant on a pebble tray filled with water.
Using a humidifier.
Dry air can cause the frond tips to turn brown.
Soil:
Use a well-draining, peat-based potting mix.
This type of mix helps retain moisture while preventing waterlogging.
Temperature:
Maintain temperatures between 65°F and 75°F (18°C to 24°C).
Avoid extreme temperature fluctuations and drafts.
Fertilizing:
Feed the fern with a diluted liquid houseplant fertilizer during the spring and summer growing season.
Avoid fertilizing in the fall and winter.
Pruning:
Remove any brown or yellow fronds to encourage healthy growth.
Pruning can also help maintain the plant's shape.
Important Notes:
These ferns are sensitive to dry conditions, so maintaining humidity is crucial.
Overwatering is a common problem, so ensure proper drainage.
