Nephrolepis exaltata Bostoniensis – Boston Fern Care & Info Guide
Horty Hints
Time for a trim! Cut away older, yellowing or dried fronds from around the sides at the base of the plant. This will encourage vigorous new growth. Do not chop the top.
Happy when hot and humid! This fern prefers a wet, warm and bright environment to thrive, such as the bathroom or kitchen.
Spotted something spotty? Don’t panic, the brown spots on the underside of its leaves are spores, and naturally occur when the plant reproduces.
Light
Nephrolepis are reasonably comfortable in a wide range of light conditions, anywhere from bright, indirect sunlight to light shade.
Watering
Keep the soil moist at all times. Water when the surface becomes slightly dry. Do not overwater and use lukewarm, soft water where possible.
Temperature
The Boston Fern prefers average household temperatures: between 16-24°C, but do not allow to fall lower than 12°C. Avoid cold draughts.

Feed
