The Boston Fern, also known as the Sword Fern, is one of the best air purifiers around. With their fantastic fronds trailing over the edges of the pot, these ferns are practically designed to live in hanging baskets.
Height: 12in - 36in
Spread: 24in - 48in
Light: Bright Indirect
Water: Moderate
Zone: 9 - 11
Pet Safe: Non-Toxic
Temperature: Prefers temperatures around 21°C, and will not withstand temperatures below 13°C for long.
Light: Your plant will appreciate a bit of time in the morning sun, but too much sun can cause leaf scorching. For most of the day, keep your plant in a bright spot with indirect/filtered sunlight. These plants will do well with a fairly low amount of light, but they thrive best with a bit of sun.
Watering: Ferns do not like to dry out, so keep your soil evenly moist at all times. Ensure that your pot has good drainage to avoid your plant getting waterlogged. These plants enjoy some humidity and will do well with being misted every day or two. Water slightly less during the winter.
Soil: Prefers a light, well-draining, organically rich soil. Something peat-based and mixed with perlite is a good choice.
Fertilizer: Fertilizing is only truly necessary for these plants if the soil conditions are poor. If you feel the need, you may use a balanced houseplant fertilizer once a month.
