Nephrolepis exaltata 'Cotton Candy' is a beautifully delicate Boston Fern cultivar with exceptionally soft, finely divided fronds that create a billowy, cloud-like appearance. Originating from tropical and subtropical regions, this fern thrives in humid environments, bringing an elegant, airy texture to indoor spaces. Its feathery fronds cascade gracefully, making it a perfect choice for hanging baskets or decorative planters.
