Nephrolepis exaltata, known as the Sword Fern or Boston Fern, is from the Lomariopsidaceae family. This fern is often found in humid forests and swamps, especially in South & Central America, Africa, Polynesia, and the West Indies.

This plant usually grows to 40 – 90cm tall but can even reach 1.5m (although only in extreme cases!). It’s wise to choose a soil that has some organic material included, and make sure it is humus rich and well-drained. Nephrolepis ferns like a lot of care; they enjoy warm, humid conditions and will not like blasts of air from windows or air vents. Over the summer, feed your Nephrolepis on slow-release pellets or liquid. It’s important to keep the root ball of a Boston Fern constantly moist. If conditions aren’t humid, be sure to mist often. Your fern should never be allowed to dry out, but you can reduce watering over winter. When grown indoors the Boston Fern needs bright, filtered, dappled light.

Remember to rotate the plant to keep it growing evenly and remove any dead fronds. Boston Ferns are safe for pets and babies and will purify the air.
