Boston Fern Houseplant

One of the most well-known and popular ferns, the Boston fern (Nephrolepis exaltata bostoniensis) is admired not only for its attractive frilly blue-green fronds but also for its ability to thrive indoors. All it requires is a steady environment, consistent watering, and moderate light to be healthy and happy. Its flexibility to be displayed in any number of ways—as a lush specimen on a pedestal or in a hanging basket or grouped as a part of a larger vignette—makes the Boston fern a perfect gift for almost anyone.

The benefits of Boston ferns don't stop at their beauty. Houseplants increase the quality of our lives and contribute to our overall well-being. Plants in the home help us breathe easier by absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen; by removing toxins to purify the air; and by increasing the humidity in the air, reducing dry skin, colds, sore throats, and coughs. There are even studies showing that houseplants reduce stress and sickness, boost creativity, and increase focus and productivity.
