check_circle In Stock
Nephrolepis exaltata 'Emina' is a fascinating cultivar of the Boston Fern, admired for its tightly curled, spiraling fronds that create a sculptural, bushy appearance. Originating from tropical and subtropical regions, this fern thrives in humid environments and adds a touch of refined greenery to indoor spaces. Its compact and upright growth habit makes it an excellent choice for small areas and decorative planters.
Distinctive Features:
- Compact, upright growth habit with tightly curled fronds.
- Deep green foliage with a ruffled texture, giving it a distinctive, ornamental look.
- Less sprawling than the typical Boston Fern, making it easier to manage indoors.
- Non-toxic to pets, making it a safe option for households with animals.
- Natural air-purifier, helping to improve indoor air quality.
Care Tips:
- Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but can adapt to lower light conditions.
- Water: Keep the soil evenly moist, but avoid waterlogging.
- Humidity: High humidity is essential; misting or using a humidity tray helps prevent frond browning.
- Media: A well-draining, rich organic potting mix is ideal.
- Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 16°C and 24°C; avoid exposure to cold drafts.
- Fertiliser: Feed with a diluted liquid fertiliser every 4-6 weeks during the growing season.
- Repotting: Repot every 1-2 years or when roots become crowded.
