●Boston Compacta Care Tips: Some Basics to Know

While low maintenance, this plant still needs some of its basic care requirements met in order to thrive and do well in its surroundings. So, here are a few basics to must keep in mind:

1. Light Requirements

The Boston Compacta Fern prefers bright, indirect or filtered light. It thrives in indirect light but can easily perish in direct sunlight situations. The harshness of the direct light can scorch its delicate fronds with prolonged exposure. So, always remember to protect your plant from the afternoon heat and sun.

2. Watering Needs

The Boston Compacta needs its soil to be consistently moist but not waterlogged. It does not like wet feet and can easily feel suffocated if you overwater it. So, remember to strike the right balance. If you’re unsure about when to water, make use of Ugaoo’s Sustee Watermeter that will tell you exactly when to water your plants by giving you an indicator. When the stick’s indicator is blue, it means the plant is watered and white indicates that the plant needs watering

3. Humidity Preferences

This stunner thrives in high humidity. So, mist the plant regularly or place a humidifier near the plant so that it can receive adequate levels of moisture.

4. Soil

The Boston Compacta requires well-drained and aerated soil. So, you can use Ugaoo’s Potting Soil with a mix of Cocopeat or Perlite to improve drainage. Also ensure that the pots and planters you are using must have adequate drainage holes so that the excess water can drain out after watering.

5. Fertilizing

Feed your Boston Compacta Fern with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength every month during the growing season (spring and summer). But remember to reduce fertilization in its dormant phases which are usually during winter months.

6. Repotting

When repotting this plant, use a good mix that will allow for more space and aeration for better growth. Ugaoo’s Potting Mix mixed with Perlite and Cocopeat will give the benefit of all of those, while making for the perfect mix for your Boston Fern.
