I know it doesn't look root bound, but the leaves are turning yellow and new growth are trying to appear. My sister said that it doesn't always need to be rootbound when it needs to be repoted.

Here are some pictures of the Fern:

It doesn't need repotting, but it wouldn't hurt

Thanks for the link. The Fern does seem crowded in that pot since new growth are fighting to grow.

I will read the article carefully and see what they have to say about Boston Ferns.

Thanks for the help.

teach Please limit your photo size to 640x480, for the benefit of the folks that have slow internet connections!

It's very easy. It takes just a minute to join Photobucket, and it's super easy to use...and FREE!

You upload your photo there, then there is a thumbnail of the picture, with 3 lines under it..."Url", "Tag", and "Img".
You just highlight the bottom line (Img) then right-click and copy it, then paste it right into your reply post.

At the top of the thumbnail photos there is an "edit" button, where you can resize your picture. The pictures posted here can't be over 640x480.

Next time I will do that. Do you resize your picture on the forum or do you do it on photobucket?
