Boston Fern

Common Name:
Boston Fern

Light:
Bright light

Water:
Keep moist.


Boston ferns have been a favorite house plant for years. They have a lush growth habit and are easy to care for. They can get quite large in size and can be divided if they get too large for your home. They will burn in direct sun and need to be kept moist. During the summer they have a habit of drying out fast so you will probably have to water them pretty much everyday. They don't mind being root bound and don't have to be re potted very often.

Rattlesnake plant is native to Brazil. The foliage is very stunning. The top of the leavea are light green with dark grean spots and the undersides are a burgandy/maroon color. The leaves are also kind of wavy. Like bright light but not a lot of direct sun. Keep moist but not soggy. Can grow up to 4 feet. Flowers later spring to early summer. Likes to be misted several times a week to keep the humidity up around it. To propagate just remove from pot and seperate the root ball. Lovely plant to own. Any questions just ask!
