- Botanical Name: Nephrolepis cordifolia
-
Common Name(s): Boston Fern, Lemon Button 'Duffii'
- Description: From the same family of ferns as the Jester's Crown, this Boston fern is a smaller variety, usually growing up to 1 ft. Adaptable and compact, it is used in outdoor flowerbeds and indoor arrangements alike. Growing is similar to the Jester's Crown Fern, requiring indirect sunlight and moisture.
- Care Ferns tend to like moist, well-drained soil and high humidity to thrive. Add some coarse sand or perlite to help improve drainage in your potting mixes. Cold drafts can cause their fronds to turn brown on the edges and tips. Bright filtered light is best.
