What are the light requirements of a Boston Fern?
Boston ferns will thrive on a shaded porch or deck. They like light but not direct sun as this is too much light and the heat from the sun can burn them very quickly. So bright, diffused light is what your plant needs. Many homeowners swear by Boston ferns to decorate their shaded porches in the summer. This is especially good for a tree shaded lawn or north facing porch. If you are trying to grow your fern under artificial light they will need 12 to 16 hours of light per day.
