This is a live plant of RAJ GARDEN PLANTS Bosten Fern Indoor Decorative Live Plant The Boston Fern (Nephrolepis exaltata) is a popular and classic houseplant known for its lush, feathery fronds. It is a tropical fern species native to regions with high humidity, such as Florida, Central and South America, and some parts of Africa. The fern's arching fronds can grow up to 2-3 feet in length, making it an attractive and eye-catching indoor plant. Boston Ferns are valued for their air-purifying properties, helping to improve indoor air quality by removing pollutants. These ferns prefer bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions, making them suitable for various indoor locations. To thrive, Boston Ferns require high humidity levels, and misting their fronds or placing a humidifier nearby can help mimic their preferred environment. The fern should be watered regularly to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, as it is sensitive to both underwatering and overwatering. Proper drainage is essential, and the fern should be grown in well-draining soil to prevent root rot. Boston Ferns can be sensitive to temperature fluctuations, preferring temperatures between 60-75°F (15-24°C). To maintain the plant's health and appearance, regular grooming is required, including removing dead fronds and occasional fertilization during the growing season. Growing Tips:- Light:- Boston fern Live Plant grows well when grown in a location with bright and indirect light. Avoid too much shade to prevent sparse fronds that appear lackluster, and too much sun can burn the fronds. For this reason, Boston fern is a good choice for a porch plant that receives filtered sun in the morning and afternoon shade. Soil :- Ferns like organically rich, loamy soil with good drainage. Adding compost and peat to your outdoor garden before planting is typically recommended. For a potted Boston fern, use a peat-based potting mix with added perlite for increased drainage capacity. Poorly drained soil can cause root rot, which will ultimately kill this plant. Water:- The key to successfully growing a Boston fern is to keep the soil lightly moist—but not soggy—during the spring and summer when it is actively growing. This usually requires weekly waterings for indoor plants and more frequent waterings for those grown outside in warm environments. Temperature and Humidity :- Boston fern prefers temperatures between 65 and 75 F. They can’t tolerate extreme heat or extreme cold. This fern also thrives in humidity levels above 80 percent. You can mimic these conditions by setting your fern on a tray filled with water and pebbles and by providing a regular misting. In conditions of low humidity, the tips of your plan's fronds may turn brown. If this happens, use the recommendations above to up the moisture. Fertilizer:- Boston fern is a low feeder For outdoor ferns, make sure you amend the soil with 1 inch of compost and mulch annually to maintain good growing conditions. Indoor ferns should be fed once a month during the spring and summer using a 20-10-20 liquid fertilizer at half strength. No fertilization is necessary during the late fall and winter months. Fern grow well in pots and are great for hanging baskets These plants act as humidifiers and can help to restore moisture in the air. Watering Schedule - once a day. Plant height - 6 to 8 inch
