Nephrolepis - Boston Fern

Nephrolepis (Boston Fern) 🌿✨

Soft, feathery, and full of movement — Nephrolepis is a classic for a reason. With its arching fronds and lush green texture, it instantly lifts a space and brings that fresh, lived-in jungle feel.

Don’t let the delicate look fool you — this one’s pretty forgiving once you get the balance right, and rewards you with full, bushy growth that just keeps giving.
