I like the article This plant in the spring, summer, autumn, winter assumes a green colouring; it is medium in size and can reach 90 cm high. It keeps its leaves in the winter. Growing they develop a round-shape shrub. The Boston swordfern develops into a fern. Fertilization Boston swordfern
In the spring let’s use a fertilizer every 15-20 days, melting it in the water which we use to irrigate; we can choose a fertilizer for flowering plants or green plants, rich with nitrogen and potassium to favour a balanced development of the new vegetation. Otherwise we can, if we want to, use a slow release fertilizer, to add to the soil, every 3-4 months. Exposure Boston swordfern
The Boston swordfern needs a minimum temperature superior to 15°C, during this time of the year it is best to check the night temperatures before setting it outside. These plants don't like direct solar rays which could ruin their foliage; we therefore suggest to locate them in shady places.Let's avoid exposing apartment plants to direct sunlight, which could damage the leaves, especially during the hottest months of the year. We should prefer a bright position, but with filtered light. Watering Boston swordfern
We suggest watering pretty often and regularly, with 2-3 glasses of water ; we should always wait for the soil to be clearly dry between one watering and the other. During this time of year usually it is necessary to irrigate every 1-2 weeks . To avoid that a scarce drainage could favour the development of fungal diseases, let's remember to avoid leaving water in the saucer. Treatments Boston swordfern
The spring weather, with a high temperature swing between the day and night hours, and pretty frequent rains, can favour the development of fungus diseases, which should be treated pre-emptively with a systemic fungicide, to use before the gems grow excessively; at the end of the winter we also suggest a wide range insecticide to prevent the attack of aphids and cochineals. We should always remember to do these treatments when there aren't flowerings in the garden. Soil Boston swordfern
These plants need to be grown in a soil which isn’t too drained. Every 2-3 years we should change the soil and place the plant in a larger container.
