Nephrolepis Exaltata 'Green Lady Fern' (Boston Fern)

The Nephrolepis exaltata, commonly known as a Boston fern is native to the tropical and humid areas in Central and South America, all the way to the West Indies. Ferns and Boston fern plants became popular during the Victorian era and were often kept in conservatories and glass cases as the coal and gas used in houses at the time would kill the ferns. With the move away from these heat sources and radiators becoming the heat source in many homes, Nephrolepis and other types of fern have become favoured plants for houses.

RATING: The Boston fern is moderately easy to care for.

LOVES: Keep in a warm semi-shady spot away from direct sunlight (this will scorch the leaves and dry the plant out). Nephrolepis exaltata plants adore and require high humidity - a humidifier or daily misting around the foliage are advisable.

HATES: Over and under-watering. Ensure you keep the soil of your Nephrolepis 'Green Lady' fern moist but not soggy throughout the year.
