Boston Fern

Nephrolepis exaltata

A lush, classic houseplant known for its mass of feathery, arching fronds. It looks beautiful in hanging baskets or on pedestals but requires high humidity to stay green and lush.

Care Requirements

Light

Bright, indirect light. Too much sun will scorch the fronds; too little will cause sparse growth.

Water

Keep the soil constantly moist but not soggy. Never allow the root ball to dry out completely. Requires high humidity.
