# We have Boston ferns that we bring in for the winter and some are…

_Posted by 🌺Plant \& Garden Newb on 2024-03-31_

We have Boston ferns that we bring in for the winter and some are doing better than others. Between my husband and I we could have treated them better. There is a lot of brown and dead twigs in the middle of some of them and I am hoping to get them looking much better before we put them outside when the weather warms up. Any suggestions? TIA

The dirt may be drying out a little too much.

I have this same issue! Have tried moving it to a different location, watering more/less, etc and I still have had the issue of the brown leaves and twigs for a year!

I wish I could get it to “fill in” I’m hoping to get them looking better before I put them out for the season.
