One of the most popular types of ferns, the Boston Fern is commonly known as the Sword Fern and is native to humid forests from northern South America through Mexico, in Florida and the West Indies. With its apple green, frilly, long, full leaves, the Boston Fern is sure to bring the forest to your space!
Being that it’s from a tropical environment, it thrives in high humidity, warm temperatures, consistently moist, but not soggy/soaked, medium to bright indirect sunlight and will grow up to 2 to 3 ft tall and wide indoors. This makes them great as hanging basket plants for a brightly lit room! They can also be placed as floor plants too, making your house really seem like a forest! And you don’t have to worry about your furry friends because the Boston Fern is one of our plants safe for cats and dogs!
Over time this plants’ leaves may get a little crunchy, but don’t be alarmed, this is just because there is not enough humidity. Increasing the humidity will prevent and fix this problem!
