This Boston Fern (Nephrolepis exaltata) has been carefully grown and nurtured to provide you with a healthy, flourishing houseplant ready to display in your home. Supplied in a practical yet stylish 17cm grey hanging basket, it offers an instant decorative feature that requires no additional potting – simply hang it in your chosen spot and enjoy.
Boston Ferns are renowned for their rich, cascading fronds that add softness and texture to interiors. Their lush green foliage has been appreciated for centuries, not only for its beauty but also for its beneficial qualities. As one of the most effective natural air-purifying plants, the Boston Fern helps filter toxins and increase humidity levels, contributing to a healthier living environment.
The plant thrives in bright, indirect light, making it suitable for kitchens, bathrooms, living rooms, and conservatories. Central heating can dry the air, but the fern adapts well if misted regularly to maintain humidity. Its foliage remains fresh and vibrant with minimal effort – simply keep the compost consistently moist (but not waterlogged) and feed with a liquid houseplant fertiliser every 2–3 weeks during the growing season.
Your Boston Fern is supplied in a 17cm grey plastic hanging basket, ready to display. The plant itself has an approximate height of 40–50cm and a spread of 40–60cm when mature. Its elegant fronds arch gracefully over the sides of the basket, making it particularly well-suited to hanging displays where its natural shape can be fully appreciated.
The hanging basket is lightweight and easy to position, whether in kitchens, bathrooms, or living spaces. Thanks to its practical size, it fits comfortably in most indoor settings without overwhelming the space. The neutral grey tone of the basket complements the vibrant green foliage, creating a stylish contrast that suits both modern and traditional interiors.
Over time, with regular watering and care, the Boston Fern will continue to produce fresh fronds, maintaining its fullness and lush texture. Its manageable dimensions make it a versatile addition to any home.
