Nephrolepis exaltata ‘Green Lady’ is a lush, compact fern with finely cut, bright green fronds that grow upright before gently arching outwards to form a full, fountain-like shape. This cultivated variety has a tidier, denser habit than the traditional Boston fern, making it perfect for hanging baskets, shelves, or tall planters.

It enjoys bright, indirect light and a consistently moist, humid environment, thriving beautifully in bathrooms or kitchens where its fresh, tropical foliage adds vibrant greenery year-round.


  • Home care:
    Keep the compost moist (but not waterlogged) at all times, but this can be cut back a little in winter, and place in a bright spot away from direct sunlight. These ferns love a humid atmosphere, so mist the leaves regularly with water and/or place the pot on pebbles in a tray filled with water. Maintain temperatures above 10°C (50°F) in winter and avoid summer temperatures above 25°C (77°F). Repot in spring if the plant becomes root-bound.

    Please note: all our indoor hanging pots include drainage holes to prevent waterlogging. We recommend taking them down to water in the sink or on a saucer, and leaving them to drain before rehanging.
