6 In. Boston Fern Plant in Hanging Basket (Nephrolepis Exaltata)

• Boston Ferns love partial sunlight and need watering twice a week
• Best planted in humid locations, such as the bathroom or kitchen
• Lush, feathery green foliage; low maintenance

Nephrolepis exaltata, known as Boston fern or sword fern, is a popular evergreen indoor plant beloved by houseplant parents because of its lush foliage and graceful appearance. Boston fern develops stunning green fronds that start upright before cascading, creating a lush and vibrant display. The plant features long, slender fronds that are densely packed with leaflets, giving it a feathery and delicate appearance. The fronds can grow up to 3 ft. in length, creating an impressive display when given enough space to thrive. With its upright to arching fronds and dense foliage, Boston fern is a wonderful addition to any room benefitting from a boost of refreshing, peaceful greenery. Your Boston fern will arrive fully rooted in a 6 in. hanging basket that's ready to hang. It prefers bright, indirect light and high humidity, making it an ideal choice for bathrooms, kitchens, and other areas of the home with high moisture levels. Shady spots outside also make good candidates, such as hanging from a branch of a shade tree. You can use a humidifier, pebble tray, or group it with other houseplants to give it the conditions it enjoys. To care for your Boston fern, keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, and avoid allowing the soil to dry out completely. During the growing season, you can lightly feed your Boston fern monthly with a balanced fertilizer.
