What to Do With Potted Boston Fern Plants in Indiana in the Winter?
Boston fern (Nephrolepis exalta) is common houseplant used since the Victorian days to adorn a front porch or back patio through the summer. With its lush green leaves and bushy shape, a Boston fern needs little more than a consistent water supply and a pot that drains. Because of the fern’s inexpensive price, most people don’t think twice of hefting it to the trash can come the cold Midwest frost. But these ferns can easily be moved inside to add new texture to any room during an Indiana winter and returned to the porch come spring.
