One of my biggest winter challenges has been trying to keep my two honkin’ Boston ferns alive and well until spring gets here. I’ve been spraying them daily, trimming their sorry fronds, and watering them once a week, hoping to keep them halfway happy at least two more months, but it’s been a big strain on them. Every day I sweep away more brown, dried leafy debris beneath them and sniffle just a little bit more. :(

I think they look great. But hey what do I know, I killed my beloved cactus Ruby whom we stole outa the desert and brought back to KS. Good luck Ms.Greenthumb. We are rooting for ya!!
What'd you do? Leave the cactus outside for the winter??? Our cactus looks great.
I love ferns. Yours looks ready to be out in the sun. Just like me. ;)
Good luck - I just buy new ones for the front porch every year and then they die off. They require a little more maintenance than I have time for - spraying EVERY day AND watering? Geesh. No wonder mine never make it! :-) Here's to Spring!
Well, they still look beautiful!! I've always wanted a huge fern!! They're gorgeous, but it sounds like they may be too high-maintenance for me!
