Sword Fern Nephrolepis Sonata Indoor Plant 19cm Hanging Pot

Nephrolepis exaltata is one of the most well-known indoor plants. Known more commonly as the sword fern or Boston fern, it is an evergreen, perennial houseplant with graceful, arching fronds that are a delicate green. Evergreen, 'Sonata' is bright green and retains its wonderful colour all year, making it a decorative and striking plant to decorate your home. A decorative and striking plant to decorate your home or to give as a gift, and spectacular in a hanging basket or pot where it can cascade over the edges. This favourite of Victorian plant hunters is not just a pretty face either - houseplants are great features for the home, helping you to get a good, restful night's sleep. Research by NASA has shown that they help keep the air inside your home clean, removing toxins such as formaldehyde and benzene, and giving out valuable oxygen at night. Easy to grow and look after, your Boston Fern loves a humid atmosphere so is perfect for a bathroom or kitchen where it will thrive in a shady part of a brightly lit room. Supplied as an established plant in a 19cm pot, 50-60cm high (including pot). Please note that the decorative pot is not included.

Care Guide
Keep the compost moist (but not waterlogged) at all times except winter when plants are dormant, and water can be cut down (but do not allow to dry out so that the compost shrinks from the side of the pot). If you can't place it in a humid atmosphere like your bathroom you can still grow this plant, just mist the leaves regularly with water and or place the pot on a tray of damp pebbles. Keep your fern at 18-25C. Feed with a general-purpose plant food once a month. When watering, pour water around the sides of the plant, as pouring it the middle can cause rotting of the crown.
