Its explosion of lush green foliage brings to mind walks in the forest and April showers! As long as you keep in mind the dappled light and moist ground this plant gets in its natural habitat, it will reward your care with verdant foliage! Just remember that this is a thirsty plant, so keep it away from radiators which would dry it out too quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScientific Name\u003cbr\u003e\nNephrolepis exaltata (kidney-scaled plant with upraised fronds) 'Green Moment'\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCommon Name\u003cbr\u003e\nBoston Fern, Sword Fern, Green Moment Plant\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrigin\u003cbr\u003e\nNative to tropical and subtropical areas of South \u0026amp; Central America and the Caribbean\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLight\u003cbr\u003e\nLikes bright, indirect light.

Water directly onto the soil, not onto the leaves- this can cause rot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHumidity\u003cbr\u003e\nLikes high humidity, like the bogs it has adapted to in the Americas. Introduce a humidity tray to keep the humidity high, especially while you have the hearting on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSoil\u003cbr\u003e\nUse a loose, well-draining but moisture-retentive mixture to allow the thin fern roots to burrow through; a mix designed for ferns is ideal, with added sand, coir and nutrients. Repot every 2-3 years in spring as the plant grows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFood\u003cbr\u003e\nFeed every four waters in the growing season, reduce to every six in autumn and winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTemperature\u003cbr\u003e\nIdeal temperature is 12-26°C; make sure it does not get colder than 10°C in winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePet-safe\u003cbr\u003e\nYes, but too much nibbling won't be good for pets, small humans or the plant!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSprouts Top Tips\u003cbr\u003e\nMoisture is key for Boston Ferns. Make sure the air is not too dry and the soil doesn't ever totally dry out. The water has to be in the right place, though; wet leaves or a wet crown can lead to damage and rot, so be sure to get the moisture directly into the soil.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sprouts of Bristol","offers":[{"title":"6cm","offer_id":43863340548349,"sku":"6389014295071","price":5.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"12cm","offer_id":43077896962301,"sku":"5389014295071","price":14.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"17cm","offer_id":43634734399741,"sku":"8936169954961","price":18.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"19cm","offer_id":43077896995069,"sku":"5609816622961","price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0490\/2774\/3905\/files\/nephrolepis-exaltata-green-moment-boston-fern-6663690.jpg?v=1759413274","url":"https:\/\/sproutsofbristol.live\/products\/boston-fern-nephrolepis-exaltata-green-moment","provider":"Sprouts of Bristol","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
