Pollination Info

Boston Fern Hanging Basket (Nephrolepis exaltata Boston Fern) Pollination Info:

The Boston Fern does not require pollination, as it reproduces through spores rather than seeds. Spores are released from the undersides of the fronds and need to land in a moist, shady area to germinate and grow into new fern plants.

If you want to propagate your Boston Fern, you can collect the spores and sow them in a potting mix specifically designed for ferns. Keep the soil consistently moist and provide indirect light for the spores to germinate and grow into new plants.

It's important to note that Boston Ferns are generally grown as ornamental plants for their lush green foliage rather than for their reproductive capabilities. As such, pollination is not a major concern when caring for your Boston Fern hanging basket.
