Nephrolepis exaltata, commonly known as the Boston Fern, Sword Fern, or simply Nephrolepis Fern, is a classic, graceful houseplant prized for its lush, arching fronds and elegant tropical appearance. A member of the Nephrolepidaceae family and native to tropical regions around the world, it’s one of the most recognisable and popular ferns for indoor growing.

This fern produces dense clumps of long, feather-like fronds made up of dozens of small, delicate leaflets that create a soft, cascading effect. The fresh green colour and gently arching habit bring movement, freshness, and natural beauty to any room. Perfect for hanging baskets, pedestal planters, or tabletops, Nephrolepis exaltata has been adored for generations as a symbol of vitality and timeless greenery.

With proper care, it remains one of the most rewarding ferns to grow — air-purifying, pet-safe, and wonderfully decorative.


Nephrolepis exaltata – Care Guide

Light

Thrives in bright, indirect light but tolerates partial shade. Avoid harsh, direct sunlight, which can scorch the fronds. Too little light may cause slow growth or yellowing leaves.

Watering

Keep the soil consistently moist, but never waterlogged. Water thoroughly when the top 2–3 cm feels slightly dry. Use rainwater or filtered water if possible, as tap water can cause brown tips. Avoid letting the plant dry out completely, as ferns are sensitive to drought.

Temperature and Humidity

  • Temperature: Prefers 18–26°C. Protect from cold draughts and avoid temperatures below 12°C.

  • Humidity: Requires high humidity (60–80%) to thrive. Mist regularly, place on a pebble tray, or use a humidifier, especially in centrally heated homes.

Soil and Potting

Use a light, moisture-retentive but well-draining compost, such as a mix of peat-free compost, perlite, and coco coir. Repot every 1–2 years in spring to refresh the soil and allow space for root growth.

Feeding

Feed every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer with a diluted balanced fertiliser. Avoid feeding during the winter rest period.

Pruning and Maintenance

Trim back old or yellowing fronds at the base to encourage new growth and maintain a tidy appearance. Wipe or mist leaves occasionally to remove dust and keep the fronds fresh.

Growth and Maturity

A moderately fast grower that typically reaches 40–60 cm tall and wide indoors. In ideal conditions, it produces new fronds continuously throughout the year, creating a full, cascading canopy.

Common Issues

  • Brown leaf tips: Low humidity, dry soil, or chemical build-up from hard water.

  • Yellowing fronds: Overwatering or poor drainage.

  • Crispy fronds: Low humidity or too much direct sun.

  • Pests: Occasionally spider mites or mealybugs; maintain humidity to deter them.

Background and Benefits

The Boston Fern rose to fame in the late 19th century as one of the first tropical plants successfully cultivated indoors. Native to tropical rainforests, it grows naturally as a groundcover or epiphyte, thriving in shaded, humid environments.

Today, Nephrolepis exaltata remains a staple of interior décor thanks to its resilience and beauty. It’s also a powerful air purifier, filtering toxins such as formaldehyde and xylene from indoor air. Its non-toxic nature makes it a safe and elegant choice for homes with pets and children.

Impressive suit for the price
Size: X-Large, Color: Navy Blue
Order suit in my normal size (44R) and it fit perfectly. I’m 6’1” and the pant length set at the correct level. Quality fabric and stitching is well finished. Pants are comfortable at the waist with enough flex to be forgiving. Very good deal for the price…suit, vest and tie.

Great for tall, slender teenager!
Size: Small, Color: Light Grey, Size: Small, Color: Light Grey
Finding a suit for a tall, slender teenage boy is about as hard as climbing Mt. Everest. Until I found this one!! I was so pleasantly surprised that this suit fit my 15 year old son like a glove. He is 5'10'' and 140 lbs so he needs pants with the proper length and smaller waist. While the waist was slightly big, he didn't need a belt and the pants fell perfectly with a pair of Nike tennis shoes. I ordered a size small and would say the pants were a 32x32 but waist was probably more like a 31. Jacket and vest were a great fit as well. High quality and easy to steam to get the shipping wrinkles out.

Fantastic suite for the price!
Size: Large, Color: Khaki
I purchased the gray version to evaluate the suit. I ordered a size up based on other reviews and was pleased to discover everything fit well. The jacket fit well around the arms, chest, shoulders, and even my seemingly ever-growing gut. The vest was the same. The pants also fit well around the waist (thanks to the expanding waistband) butt, and thighs. The only problem was the pants were about 2 sizes too long. Considering the price point, I was felt I was still way ahead after paying to have them altered. After a couple week's worth of wear, I purchased 4 more (gray, black, blue and tan). All fit the same way and were easily altered too. The tailor even had the cashier ask me where I purchased these as he was impressed with the quality. A couple months in and I'm still pleased, although I've had a few issues. My right pocket on my blue pair has ripped it's seam twice, as has the same pocket on one of my gray pair. Considering it's the same pocket, I would suspect I am just heavy handed but this is not a common problem with any of my other clothes. The pants are a bit on the tighter side when I am sitting down so perhaps the stitching is just not strong enough. I have asked the tailor to give me a super stitch in this area and am just about to pick up the gray pair with this new stitch. I'll try to remember to update later on. Overall, I feel I have really gotten my money's worth out of these suits, especially considering the prices of others. I have been wearing these daily since June and have gotten many compliments.

Great suit at a great value
Size: Large, Color: Black
I have ordered several other suits from the seller for my three boys over the last several years for either their prom, special events and graduations. The fit and value are wonderful. I would definitely recommend this suit if you want something that is classy looking, but won’t break the bank
