Boston Fern

We’re celebrating all things beautiful and British, with our range of UK grown, 97% peat free plants. Sourced from family-run growers based in Chichester, where they dedicate over 5 acres of land to growing potted plants.
Not only is peat free a better choice for the environment, but it’s also better for your plants! Helping support growth and aid water retention – what more could you ask for?

There might be are over 200 types of fern, but that doesn’t make the Boston Fern any less special. It is native to tropical areas of South America, and they are great at purifying the air in your home. This is a gorgeous plant with plenty of lush green, feather-like fronds.

The Boston Fern is said to be a symbol of sincerity, and according to old folk tales they’re a sign of fairies living nearby.

Show me the humidity! This plant loves moisture, so don’t let them dry out and aim to mist it regularly. For these reasons, it’s a good bathroom plant. Also, try not to touch their fronds as this may might turn them brown – a case of look, but don’t touch! 

This plant is grown in a peat-free medium, so you may find that the top soil tends to dry out a little faster – but don’t worry, just use your finger and test to see if the top 2-3 inches of soil are still moist, to avoid overwatering. You’ll also want to treat your plant to fertiliser during growing season, as you won’t find the same nutrients in this mix as you’d find in traditional soil.
