This beautiful Boston Fern, also known as Nephrolepis Exaltata, is a perfect addition to any indoor plant collection. With its bushy and lush green foliage, it adds a touch of nature to any room. The plant is 12cm tall and comes in a handy pot, making it easy to display and care for.
The Fern is evergreen and interested in autumn, winter, summer, and spring. It is a popular choice for indoor plants enthusiasts due to its easy maintenance and air purification abilities. This potted plant is a great gift for anyone who loves gardening or wants to add a touch of nature to their home.
You’ll find Boston Ferns in the wild in humid, shady areas, like swamps and forests, in South and Central America, the West Indies and Africa. They love anywhere wet, hot and not too bright. As a houseplant, they really became popular with the Victorians - those guys absolutely loved an exotic houseplant - thriving in the poorly lit, likely damp homes of the 1800s.
When looking after one at home, the rule is to never let a Boston fern dry out. Make sure to keep the soil moist and humidity level high. Although it's very tempting, try to resist touching their fronds as they really don't like it and it might turn them brown.
To encourage lots of healthy growth, give it a feed with liquid fertiliser once per month in spring and summer.
Frequent watering
She likes moist soil, so check her weekly and water whenever the top inch of soil is dry. Let any excess drain off.
Most light conditions
Like a lot of ferns, she’s used to living in partial shade, so she’s ideal for a room with lower light.
Humidity
She really really loves humidity. Mist her a couple of times a week or let her live in the bathroom, basking happily in steam.
