Boston Fern

Published by ctackett77 at 4:51 pm under Gardening Edit This

The Boston Fern, or the Sword Fern (Nephrolepis exaltata) is one of the prettiest plants I have ever seen. I also think that they are one of the easiest plants to grow. They love moisture and partial shade. I have sat mine in a tub of water (on a brick where the bottom of the pot just sits in the water) and it got very green and lush. If you have this plant indoors, be sure to mist it regularly. Now, if it is planted outside in zones 9-11, it will come back up the next year. It will look dead through the winter, but it will grow back. In my home state of Florida, they grow wild.

Happy Gardening!
