Description

The Boston Fern (Nephrolepis exaltata) is the classic fern for a reason: clouds of feathery, arching fronds that soften any corner. It looks spectacular in a hanging basket or on a plant stand where the fronds can cascade.

Ferns love humidity, which makes them naturals for bright UAE bathrooms. Keep the soil lightly moist, give it indirect light, and mist the fronds now and then — it will reward you with lush, continuous new growth. It is also completely pet-friendly.

Care guide

• Light: Bright indirect light; no harsh direct sun.
• Water: Keep soil consistently lightly moist, never soggy.
• Humidity: Loves humidity — mist regularly or place near other plants.
• Tip: Trim brown fronds at the base to keep it tidy.
• Pets: Pet-friendly — safe around cats and dogs.
