After experimenting with a different potting mix and amendments, we're growing a large 8" hanging basket Boston Fern that only requires watering twice a week, and perhaps only once a week. Large Boston Ferns have so many fronds transpiring water that they used to require daily watering to maintain their lush green foliage. We still recommend a good soaking (pot with root portion only, not the fronds) to start out and then adding water to the pot (try to keep the fronds dry.......NO MISTING) once or twice a week depending on the environment and weather. Dry and windy locations will definitely require more water than cool, calm areas.
