- Despite its associations with New England, the Boston fern originated from a tropical plant, Nephrolepis exaltata, which is native to Florida, Mexico, and parts of Central and South America. In those habitats, the Boston type can grow to 7 feet tall, but probably wont surpass a height of 3 feet in a container.
- Indoors or out, the Boston fern prefers a light, fast-draining soil with an acidic pH between 5 and 5.5. A combination of one part standard potting mix combined with one part peat moss works well, as does a mix of two parts peat moss combined with one part each of perlite and vermiculite.
- Since Boston fern plant care requires humidity, you might want to double-pot your plant. To do so, place it in a shallow terra cotta pot with drainage holes which is no more than 1 inch larger than the root ball on all sides. You then can set that pot inside a slightly larger one lined with damp sphagnum moss. Water evaporating from that moss will help raise the humidity levels around the plant.
- For Boston fern indoor care, place your plant where it will receive bright light but no midday or afternoon sun. Morning sun from an east window usually is mild enough to suit the plant, or you can place a sheer curtain between a south or west-facing window and the plant.
