Why Choose Our Boston Fern Hanging Basket?

Pet Friendly: A Boston Fern plant that’s safe for cats and dogs

Boston Fern Hanging Basket Care

Boston Ferns thrive with consistent light, humidity, and watering. With the right care, your hanging Boston Fern plant will provide lush greenery all season.

Sunlight: Bright, indirect light or filtered morning sun with afternoon shade

Watering: Keep soil consistently moist; water 2–3 times weekly during active growth

Soil: Use well-draining soil to prevent root rot

Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced fertilizer every 4–6 weeks in spring and summer

Hardiness: Ideal for USDA Zones 9–11

Grower’s Tip: Place your hanging Boston Fern where it will get morning sun and afternoon shade; think porch edges or under pergolas. To keep the fronds lush, tuck a saucer of water or a pebble tray beneath the basket to raise local humidity outdoors.

Light: Place near a north or east-facing window for filtered light

Watering: Water weekly indoors, reducing to every other week in winter dormancy

Humidity: Thrives in high humidity; mist regularly or place near a humidifier

Temperature: Keep above 55°F and away from cold drafts or dry air from heaters

Grower’s Tip: Indoors, your Boston Fern plant will love being near a humidifier or in a naturally humid room like a bathroom with a window. If the air is dry, mist lightly a few times per week to prevent leaf drop and keep fronds glossy.

Pruning: Remove yellow or damaged fronds to keep growth lush and healthy

Repotting: Refresh soil or upgrade pots every 2–3 years to maintain vigor

Pests: Rarely affected but watch for mealybugs or scale

Maintenance Tip: Rotate baskets occasionally for even, balanced growth

Grower’s Tip: In early spring, give your hanging Boston Fern a light haircut—snip off yellowed or older fronds. This encourages a flush of fresh, green growth just as the season warms up. Repotting every 2–3 years in fresh soil also revitalizes the root system and keeps baskets full.

Boston Fern Care Guide

Expert Grower’s Tips for Boston Ferns

Advice from our growing experts

Keep the Soil Consistently Moist

Boston ferns prefer evenly moist soil and will quickly show stress if allowed to dry out completely. Water when the top of the soil begins to feel slightly dry, ensuring excess water can drain freely from the container.

Increase Humidity for Lush Fronds

These tropical ferns thrive in humid environments. Placing the plant in a bathroom, near a humidifier, or misting occasionally can help prevent brown leaf tips and keep fronds looking full and vibrant.

Trim to Encourage Fuller Growth

Remove any yellowing or dry fronds at the base of the plant to keep it looking tidy and encourage fresh new growth. Light pruning throughout the growing season helps Boston ferns maintain their full, cascading shape.

These tips are based on 30+ years of professional growing experience at our Florida nursery.

Boston Fern Hanging Basket FAQ

How big will my Boston Fern plant get?

Our jumbo Boston Fern hanging baskets arrive about 25-34″ wide × 18″ tall, and the fronds will keep growing with proper care. Outdoors, a Boston Fern plant can easily reach 2–3 feet of cascading growth, creating a lush, overflowing display. The 10″ and 12″ baskets both deliver instant impact and continue to expand through the season.

Is the Boston Fern safe for pets?

Yes, the Boston Fern plant is considered non-toxic to cats and dogs by the ASPCA, making it a safe choice for pet owners. Unlike many common houseplants, you can place a hanging Boston Fern in your home without worry. While it’s safe, it’s still best to keep plants out of reach to avoid unnecessary nibbling.

How often should I water a Boston Fern?

Boston Ferns love moisture and should never be allowed to dry out completely. Plan to water 2–3 times weekly during spring and summer when growth is most active, keeping the soil lightly but consistently moist. In fall and winter, you can scale back to every other week while maintaining humidity for healthy fronds.

What kind of light does a Boston Fern need?

A Boston Fern plant thrives in bright, indirect light that mimics a shaded forest floor. Outdoors, morning sun followed by afternoon shade is perfect, while indoors, a north or east-facing window provides the right balance. Avoid direct midday sun, which can scorch the delicate fronds and cause browning.

Do Boston Ferns need humidity?

Yes, Boston Ferns absolutely love humidity, which keeps their fronds lush and vibrant. Regular misting, a humidity tray, or placing your hanging Boston Fern in a naturally humid spot like a bathroom can work wonders. Without humidity, fronds may dry out or shed, so it’s an important part of their care.

This shop has the most fantastic, healthy, gorgeous plants. I am a repeat customer and have never been disappointed. In fact the plants have always exceeded my expectation and plants are often much larger than expected. Packaging is some of the most professional I've seen, with not one leaf damaged. I'll be back for more.
