Boston Ferns ( Sword Fern )

Description

The Boston Fern (Nephrolepis exaltata), also known as Sword Fern, is a popular indoor and outdoor ornamental plant, recognized for its lush, arching fronds. Its finely textured, green leaves give any space a vibrant, tropical feel, making it a favorite for hanging baskets or as a decorative floor plant. Native to tropical and subtropical regions, the Boston Fern thrives in humid environments and prefers indirect sunlight, making it a perfect addition to homes and gardens.

This fern prefers consistently moist, well-drained soil and regular misting to maintain humidity levels. Its air-purifying qualities are an added benefit, helping to cleanse indoor spaces of pollutants. Although it is relatively low-maintenance, it needs protection from dry air and drafts to avoid browning of the leaves.
