Nephrolepis exaltata 'Cotton Candy'
Cotton Candy is a stunning compact form of the popular Boston Fern with fine lacy leaves, it is well suited for indoor use in planters and terrariums. They will also do very well in pots.
Cotton Candy is a hardy fern but requires regular watering if kept in warmer draughty areas. In terrariums very little water is needed. Mini Boston is fast growing and will require some cutting back so it can be kept small and compact for long periods.
Water well if kept in pots but sparingly in terrariums; potting mix must be allowed to almost dry between waterings. Keep warm and on the dry side in winter. Avoid heaters and draughty positions. Keep in some direct sunlight or provide artificial light. Fertiliser should be only used if you would like the plant to grow. Lack of fertiliser will keep plants shorter and more compact. Temperatures above 20c will speed up growth, between 15 and 20c growth will be extremely slow. Periods below 12c may cause leaves to rot; dead leaves must be removed to prevent damage to healthy growth
