If your ferns keep turning brown and crispy… do this instead. I keep my Boston and Kimberly Queen ferns staying lush and green with bright shade, an initial application of a slow release fertilizer, consistent watering and a monthly Epsom salt mix — 1 tablespoon per gallon of water. Trim brown fronds regularly and don’t let them fully dry out during summer heat. 🌿 . .
