How to Overwinter Boston Ferns
Want to overwinter those Boston ferns? It is possible! Here's how!
The first signs of dormancy start to show on the underside of the fronds. They will turn brown and wither (like deciduous trees) and eventually will start shedding. This is OK! It is normal! Just make sure you bring those pots indoors before a harsh frost. Boston Ferns can only survive temperatures down to around 20-40 degrees and can only survive the high end of that range when handing in a pot. So get those puppies inside when it starts to get chilly outdoors and don't worry when the fronds start to turn yellow and brown and start shedding.
