Boston Fern Decline After Fall Repotting: Move to Better Light, Less Water, More Humidity

Repotting in Fall Was a Mistake

Boston ferns hate root disturbance going into winter. They prefer being rootbound.

Recovery Plan

• Move to east or west window.
• Place cool-mist vaporizer underneath.
• Cut water to ~1 cup every 7–10 days.
• High humidity, low water in winter.

More light, less water, higher humidity may save it.
