Boston Fern

Question

I have a Boston fern that has been looking great over the past few years and now has furry things wrapping around he pot. My guess is that they are the root. Should I transplant in a bigger pot and cover the furry things. Thanks.

Answer 1

Yes, these are shoots or runners of the plant and can be divided and transplanted to make additional plants. Here is more information: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/houseplants/boston-fern/boston-fern-runners.htm
