Gardening is such a wonderful and fulfilling hobby. It's amazing how nurturing a plant from a tiny seed can be so rewarding. Not only does it bring beauty to our surroundings, but it also offers a sense of calm and connection to nature. Plus, the satisfaction of harvesting your own homegrown produce is unmatched. Keep up the green thumb! 🌱🌸🍅

I have a "Fluffy Ruffle" (Nephrolepis Exaltata) fern which has gone from winning blue ribbons to a very poor looking fern. It is about 35 yrs. old and has never been repotted. Can you tell me how to go about this? This fern is my pride and joy and I do no want to lose it. My ferns go outside every June-Sept. (I live in Chicago area) and when I brought them in last Sept. the fern had lost many fronds, esp. on one side and was half of its previous size. Now one whole side is nothing but brown "sticks".

Boston ferns should be repotted every 2 or three years. They have a tendency to get pot bound. To repot, remove the plant from its container. Choose a new pot about 2 inches larger then the old one and add some soil on the bottom. Place the fern on the soil so it sits as the same level. Add soil to the sides around the roots. Trim off any lower dead leaves and water normally.
