Hey y’all!! So I am located in southeast Idaho so it is dry ALL the time (it is currently 19% humidity), super hot in the summer, and super cold in the winter. I few months ago I was gifted a Boston fern. They are gorgeous so I understand why but I also know that Idaho is really not the place for them! Brandon the Boston Fern has been doing okay for the conditions he has been given but today I noticed crispy tips😭 I mist him probably once or twice a week and follow plantas water schedule as long as it’s needed (has been everytime lol). If anyone has any tips and tricks let me know!

humidifier! humidity that low won't really be affected by a weekly mist. unless you're prepared to mist him twice daily, you should probably invest in a humidifier lolol
