Pro Tips

The key to ferns are a humid environment. Mist the leaves frequently and keep away from AC and heat drafts. The kitchen and bathroom are great rooms to keep a fern, as they are naturally high in humidity. If your fern is in need of a serious revival, don't worry too much- giving it a boost with more direct sun and extra mist can revive it, as it stores a lot of energy beneath the soil.

Origin

The boston fern is native to the Americas, Africa, and Polynesia, where it grows along the edges of swamps and floodplains. Most ferns reproduce with spores, however, the Boston Fern does not, as it's typically cultivated by dividing the rhizomes that grow under the soil. In some areas of South Africa, Boston Ferns are an invasive species!
