Frequent Symptoms & Problems for Boston Fern
Every plant reacts differently. Discover custom botanical analyses for your Nephrolepis exaltata.
Boston Fern : Yellow Leaves (Chlorosis)
Nephrolepis exaltata, or Boston fern, is a demanding terrestrial and epiphytic fern. Yellowing of fronds is usually a sign of acute water stress, whether excess or deficiency of water.
Boston Fern : Dry or Brown Leaf Edges
This is the most common problem with indoor Nephrolepis. Native to very humid environments, the ends of its fronds dry and crumble at the slightest drop in atmospheric humidity.
Boston Fern : Soft or Drooping Leaves
A general loss of strength in Nephrolepis, followed by the massive fall of the small leaflets, indicates total water collapse or an unsuitable temperature.
