Plant bio
Sword Fern; Nephrolepis Exaltata
Native to humid forests from northern South America through Mexico, in Florida and the West Indies, the Boston Fern is a tropic species of fern from the Lomariopsidaceae family. Characterised by her long, spiky, arching green fonds - the Boston Fern is one of the most versatile plants out there. She cleanses the air from pollutants, helps you sleep, and is pet friendly! Tick, tick, tick. She does, however, love humidity - so we recommend putting her in a steamy bathroom or kitchen to absorb lots of moisture.
