Nephrolepis Exaltata - Boston Fern Plant for Indoor Air Purification

A lush green terrestrial or epiphytic fern, commonly grown as a houseplant, prefers bright, indirect light and warmth ranging from 60 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit. This plant requires high humidity and moist soil, which should never be allowed to dry out. During the winter months, it is essential to reduce watering, as overwatering can lead to rot. Caution should be taken to avoid overwatering to the point of sodden soil.

This fern is known for its ability to remove indoor air pollutants, making it an excellent choice for placement near kitchens and bathrooms, where humidity is typically higher. Alternatively, the plant can be set on a tray of wet pebbles to increase the surrounding humidity.

Despite its preference for moist conditions, the fern is tolerant of drought. When grown as a houseplant, it is crucial to mist the plant when the relative humidity falls below approximately 80%. Outdoors, this plant thrives in partial shade or full shade.
