I am the boss of the indoor jungle with my long feathery fronds.

The Boston Fern (Nephrolepis exaltata) is one of the easiest ferns to care for and an absolute stunner - a lush, leafy beauty that brings instant jungle vibes to your home. With its vibrant green, feather-like fronds, this classic houseplant is a pet-friendly plant, making it a safe and stylish choice for homes with cats and dogs.

Available in two sizes – medium (total height approx. 40cm) and big (total height approx. 50cm) – this gorgeous fern makes a thoughtful and long-lasting plant gift for friends, family, or even yourself. It even featured in our Top 5 Plants for Mother’s Day list, making it the perfect green gift for mums, birthdays, or any special occasion.

Where to Style Your Boston Fern

Famous for thriving in bathrooms, the Boston Fern is a natural humidifier, releasing moisture into the air through its lush leaves – perfect for keeping your home fresh and healthy. But don’t limit it to the bathroom! It looks equally fabulous in living rooms, kitchens, or bedrooms. Display it in one of our stylish ceramic pots or place it in a trendy hanging plant holder for maximum impact.

Care Tips for a Thriving Boston Fern

The Boston Fern naturally grows in tropical rainforests, which means it loves high humidity and indirect, dappled light rather than harsh, direct sunlight. Keep the soil consistently moist (but not soggy) and mist the leaves regularly, especially in warmer months. With the right care, this beautiful plant will reward you with lush, healthy growth all year round. For a full care guide, visit All You Need to Know About the Boston Fern.

Care

Don’t let the soil go dry – water once a week at least. Ferns need humidity as they dry out quickly.

Keep out of draughts and away from radiators.

Avoid direct bright sunlight as this will scorch the fronds.

  • I did think it would be bigger as I not call it large, but still happy with it.

  • This looks so lovely in my bathroom. It's perhaps not as "full" as I was expecting, but hopefully it'll grow a bit and fill out.

  • This is a gorgeous plant. The little rounded leaves in a darker green are a nice contrast to the Boston fern. Arrived well packaged and healthy. I’m watering twice a week and letting it drain well before replacing in the pot which it seems to like.

  • This fern looks amazing in my bathroom. It arrived exceedingly well packaged. It needs a little more water than I imagined but with little botanical online information I was able to detect underwatering and follow instructions how to spruce it up again. Can’t wait for it to grow and be really bushy. The company’s advice is fantastic for someone who normally can’t sustain plant life
