Nephrolepis exaltata | Houseplant
Boston fern
A classic favourite since Victorian times, Nephrolepis exaltata remains one of the easiest indoor ferns to grow. Its graceful, arching fronds add a soft, elegant touch to any space, and it thrives in the warm, humid conditions of kitchens or bathrooms.
Please note that the plant comes in a nursery pot as standard, unless a decorative pot cover is included as an option.

How to care for Nephrolepis exaltata:
Keep the compost moist (but not waterlogged) at all times, but this can be cut back a little in winter, and place in a bright spot away from direct sunlight. These ferns love a humid atmosphere, so mist the leaves regularly with water and/or place the pot on pebbles in a tray filled with water. Maintain temperatures above 10°C (50°F) in winter and avoid summer temperatures above 25°C (77°F). Repot in spring if the plant becomes root-bound.
