Why does your Boston Fern have yellow leaves? Diagnose the cause and fix it with our step-by-step guide.
Pet FriendlyBoston Ferns are tropical plants that require high humidity levels; dry air causes the fronds to dehydrate and turn yellow, starting from the tips.
Allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings stresses the root system, leading to widespread yellowing of the foliage.
If the potting medium remains saturated, oxygen is excluded from the roots, leading to fungal decay and yellowing leaves.
A lack of nitrogen prevents the plant from producing chlorophyll, which manifests as an overall pale yellowing of older fronds.
