Nephrolepsis exalta / 17Cm

Nephrolepsis exal. or Boston-fern, look wonderful when hung in a steamy bathroom or bright kitchen, where they will thrive in the humid atmosphere. Their upright to gently arching fronds create a spectacular fountain-like clump, with a distinctly tropical feel. Keep the compost moist (but not waterlogged) at all times, but this can be cut back a little in winter, and place in a bright spot away from direct sunlight. These ferns love a humid atmosphere, so mist the leaves regularly with water.

Key Features:

• Foliage: Typical divided fern foliage, bright green
• Height: 5cm-60cm
• Best placement: A humid area such as a kitchen or bathroom, bright but not in direct sun

This fern is a symbol of good luck and is said to bring prosperity and abundance to its owners. It is also known to be a natural air purifier.
