Boston fern (Nephrolepis exaltata) is a classic houseplant with beautiful lush-green, sword-shaped foliage and densely packed leaflets along the fronds. This plant is very useful as it is one of the top-rated plants for eliminating air pollutants. It also produces a large amount of water vapor into the air and works as a room humidifier.
This fern plant has falling ruffled fronds that make it look wonderful in both tall planters and hanging baskets.
Indoor Boston fern can grow up to 3 feet in both length and width. Ferns do not produce flowers.
Boston fern likes bright, indirect light and does not tolerate harsh direct sunlight or deep shade.
This plant needs watering once or twice per week to keep the soil slightly moist. Water only the soil and not directly into the leaves to avoid rotting. Drain well after each watering to prevent waterlogged soil.
This plant prefers soils that can retain moisture but still drain well. You can use a peat-based potting soil and add some perlite to increase the soil's drainage capacity.
Boston Fern should be kept in temperatures between 60°F-75°F and a humidity level of at least 50%. Use a humidifier and mist your plant when the weather is dry, especially during winter.
This plant should be fertilized once per month during the growing season (spring/summer) with a diluted houseplant fertilizer.

When you purchase online, your plants have to go through lots of stress while traveling so they may need a few days to adjust to their new environment and thrive. If your plant does not perk back up after a few days of care, let us know and we will send replacements free of charge. Remember that we always try our best to accommodate you.
It’s advised that you should repot the plant as soon as you get it. After repotting, your new houseplant will most likely struggle with transplant shock. It may appear droopy, faded, or have a slower growth rate than usual during this time. This is completely normal, and it’s also normal for transplant shock to hit especially hard after repotting a brand-new houseplant. To make sure your plant has plenty of time to adjust to its new surroundings, wait a day after potting and water your plant. Make sure any excess water drains completely from the pot afterward. Monitor your soil’s moisture levels daily to start creating a watering routine. To help perk up your new houseplant, we recommend adding a little water-soluble fertilizer, compost, or sugar water to your soil to boost its nutrients and help it grow.
