Repot fern - here sources of error lurk
Keeping a fern indoors as a houseplant is no longer a rarity these days. But this plant will not grow and fidelish for years without time and effort. It should be repotted regularly.
Spring - the best time to repot
As with most other plants, the best time to repot is in the spring after the winter (between February and March). He should have moved from his old home to a new home by May at the latest.
Later you should not repot your fern. If he is in the budding of his new fronds and thus outside of his rest period, he reluctantly forgives relocation. He can take damage and get brown fronds.
How often should I repackage?
The frequency of potting depends on the fern species and their respective growth rate. Most young ferns have to be repotted every 1 to 2 years. Older ferns are enough to be repotted every 3 to 4 years. Rarer - usually every 4 to 6 years - the gently waking cycads must be repotted.
