🌎 Country of origin: India

Boston Fern (Nephrolepis exaltata) is a popular evergreen fern grown for its lush, arching fronds densely lined with soft green leaflets that give a graceful, feathery look. A classic choice for hanging baskets, shaded patios, bathrooms and bright indoor corners, it adds cool greenery and helps freshen indoor air. It loves high humidity, bright indirect light and consistently moist, well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Native to humid tropical regions, it thrives in India's warm, humid conditions but needs protection from harsh direct sun and dry air. With regular misting and watering it stays full and beautiful year-round.

Boston Fern Golden Care

The Boston Fern Golden (Nephrolepis exaltata) thrives in bright, indirect light and loves consistent humidity, making it ideal for bathrooms, kitchens and shaded balconies. Keep the soil lightly moist but never waterlogged, and mist the fronds during dry Indian summers to stop the tips browning. Feed with a balanced liquid fertiliser once a month through the growing season, and trim any yellowing fronds to keep the golden foliage full and fresh.

Where to Place Your Boston Fern

This fern's arching golden fronds look their best where they can spill and drape, so a hanging position or a raised stand shows off its shape beautifully. It suits north- or east-facing windows, covered verandahs and well-lit indoor corners away from harsh afternoon sun. Choose the 8 inch hanging option for balconies and stairwells, or the 5 inch pot for desks, shelves and side tables.

Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, watering whenever the surface starts to dry, often several times a week in warm, dry weather.

How much light does a Boston Fern need?

It prefers bright, indirect light and shade. Avoid harsh direct sun, which scorches and browns the delicate fronds.

Can a Boston Fern be grown indoors?

How is a Boston Fern propagated?

It is easily propagated by dividing the root clump or by potting up the runners (stolons) it sends out.

Why is my Boston Fern dropping leaves or going brown?

Browning and leaf drop usually mean low humidity, dry soil or too much sun. Increase humidity, keep soil moist and move it out of direct light.

Does the Boston Fern flower?

How do I keep a Boston Fern humid in dry weather?

Mist it daily, stand the pot on a pebble-and-water tray, or group it with other plants. Bathrooms and kitchens often suit it well.

No, the Boston Fern is non-toxic to people and pets, which adds to its popularity as a houseplant.

What fertilizer is best for a Boston Fern?

Feed with a diluted balanced liquid fertilizer every 3-4 weeks during the growing season; avoid overfeeding, which can burn the fronds.
