π Benefits :
- Air purifying: Boston Fern Filter Formaldehyde, Xylene, and Toluene.These chemicals hang in the air and can be caused by cigarette smoke, cleaning supply vapors, and polluted air. Formaldehyde in particular can cause coughing, wheezing, and burning sensations. Birdβs nest ferns (and most ferns in general) are one of the few plants out there that can effectively filter out these chemicals!
- Toxicity: Boston fern is nontoxic to humans, cats, and dogs, according to the California Poison Control System.
π How to care :
Soil: Boston ferns need a loamy, rich, organic mixture as a potting soil. Make sure the drainage is good to avoid rotting the roots, which will be evident if the plant is beginning to lose leaves or appears waterlogged. It’s a good idea to choose a soil that contains some organic material
Sunshine: The plant benefits from bright, indirect light during fall and winter. A location where the plant gets at least two hours of indirect sunlight per day, preferably in the morning or late afternoon, is ideal. Boston fern light conditions must change when sunlight is more intense in spring and summer.
Watering: It is important to keep the root ball moist at all times. If your Boston fern is sitting in a somewhat dry area (instead of humid), mist with water frequently to keep moist.

If you want a plant that
- Is a hanging plant
