The Boston Fern will provide beautiful foliage throughout the year. Many plant lovers tend to appreciate the Fern very quickly, largely due to the effervescent nature of the plant and, of course the alluring appearance. The Fern will take up to 5 years to reach its ultimate height and spread of 0.5-1m. It is recommended to keep it in partial shade, or in a humid environment such as a bathroom. Dead fronds that the plant produces should be pruned back when they begin to show.
