# I have a Boston fern that is… not doing well. It is definitely…

_Posted by Melikeplants on 2025-04-11_

I have a Boston fern that is… not doing well. It is definitely dehydrated. I used to neglect it until it became like this, and now I intend to rescue it from, whatever you call this. Is there anything tips or other issues that could increase the speed of recovery? Thx.

I mist mine every other day and keep soil moist and she loves it

Maybe add a pebble tray w water under it to help with humidity? Good luck.. I don’t do too well with ferns, darn it!
