How much water do you give a potted fern?

It depends on the size of container and the type of fern. I have 3 boston ferns, one is in a gallon and the other two are in 5 gallon containers. I water every other day, 1/2 - 1/3 cup for the 1 gallon and 2/3 - 1 cup for the gallons. I keep the soil moist and never let it completely dry out.

depending on the size and pot ferns do not like to be so so wet or so so dry i suggest if you have your fern in a very sunny area you place your finger all the way into the soil to determine if it needs water do not water if the top is dry there maybe wet soil on the bottom
Reply:Most ferns like damp shady places, so just make sure they don't dry out.
