Nephrolepis exaltata 'Emina' - Boston Fern
check_circle In Stock
Nephrolepis exaltata 'Emina' is a cultivated form of the species native to tropical regions worldwide, where it grows in warm, humid forests with filtered light and consistently moist soils rich in organic matter. In cultivation, it is appreciated for its compact growth and frilled foliage.
This selection produces upright, arching fronds with narrow, heavily serrated leaflets that give the plant a curled, textured appearance. The fronds form a dense rosette, creating a neat, full habit that stays smaller than many other Boston Fern types, making it suitable for indoor spaces and container growing.
Growth continues year-round in warm, humid conditions, and it responds well to regular grooming to maintain a fresh appearance. It is best grown where humidity can be kept high, as dry air can cause browning of the leaflet tips.
Care Tips:
- Light: Bright, indirect light or light shade; avoid direct sun on fronds.
- Water: Keep soil evenly moist, never allowing it to fully dry; reduce slightly in cooler months.
- Humidity: Requires high humidity; mist regularly or use a humidifier indoors.
- Media: Plant in a rich, free-draining mix with good moisture retention.
- Fertiliser: Apply a diluted balanced fertiliser monthly during active growth.
- Temperature: Prefers 18–27 °C; protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 10 °C.
- Repotting: Repot every 1–2 years in spring, refreshing the mix to encourage healthy growth.
