🪴 Why Choose the Boston Fern ‘Green Lady’🪴

✅ Pet-Friendly: Safe for cats and dogs – a perfect addition to pet-loving households.
✅ Air Purifying: A natural air freshener – helps remove toxins like formaldehyde for a healthier home.

🪴 Care Guide

☀️ Light Requirements:
Prefers bright, indirect light, but also grows well in low light conditions. Keep out of direct sunlight to avoid scorched fronds. A north or east-facing window is ideal.

💧 Watering:
Keep the soil consistently moist but never soggy. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, ensuring the pot has proper drainage to avoid root rot.

💦 Humidity:
Thrives in high humidity (50%+). Mist regularly, use a pebble tray, or place near a humidifier – especially important in winter when air is dry.

🌡️️ Temperature:
Ideal range is 15–24°C. Avoid placing near radiators, heaters, or cold draughts, as sudden changes in temperature can cause stress.

🪴 Soil & Potting:
Use a well-draining potting mix rich in organic matter. A blend with coco coir or peat moss will help retain the right amount of moisture.

🪴 Feeding:
During spring and summer, feed monthly with a diluted balanced liquid fertiliser. No feeding is needed in autumn or winter.

✂️ Pruning & Maintenance:
Trim away yellow or brown fronds to keep the plant tidy and promote new growth. Occasional pruning also improves airflow around the plant.

♻️ Repotting:
Repot every 1–2 years in spring, using fresh potting mix and a slightly larger pot to support root development.

💡️ Troubleshooting Tips

Yellowing Fronds: Often caused by inconsistent watering, low humidity, or too much direct sun. Adjust conditions accordingly.
Brown Leaf Tips: Common in dry environments. Boost humidity and maintain even watering.
Drooping Leaves: Can be due to either underwatering or overwatering – check the soil moisture level.
Leaf Drop or Thinning: May result from temperature stress or low humidity. Keep the environment stable.
Pests (e.g. spider mites or mealybugs): Inspect regularly. Treat early with neem oil or an eco-friendly pest spray available in our shop.

☀️ Light

☀️☀️▫️ (Medium)

The Boston Fern ‘Green Lady’ flourishes in bright, indirect light but is quite forgiving and will also prosper in low light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent the fronds from scorching. A north or east-facing window would be an ideal spot.

💧 Water

💧💧▫️ (Medium)
