What is the best fertilizer for outdoor ferns?

For thriving outdoor ferns, a balanced, slow-release fertilizer with an NPK ratio of 20-10-20 or 10-10-10 is generally ideal. This provides ample nitrogen for lush green growth, phosphorus for root development, and potassium for overall health. Alternatively, consider using organic options like diluted fish emulsion or compost tea, which offer a gentler approach. Apply fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges and again in mid-summer, following the product instructions carefully to avoid over-fertilization, which can burn the delicate fronds. Regular watering also aids nutrient absorption and prevents salt buildup from fertilizers.
