Nephrolepis exaltata 'Rooseveltii' (Roosevelt Fern). Known for its exceptionally fluffy, ruffled, and feathery green fronds, this compact Boston fern variety features an upright growth habit that makes a stunning statement piece in any home or hanging basket setup.
🌿 Why You'll Love It
- Lush, Ruffled Foliage: Thicker, multi-layered, and deeply divided fronds give this fern a fuller, moss-like texture compared to classic Boston ferns.
- Versatile Decor: Its tidy, arching-to-upright shape is perfect for pedestals, hanging baskets, or bright, steamy bathrooms.
- Pet-Friendly: Safe to keep around your cats and dogs.
💧 Care Instructions
To keep your Roosevelt Fern thriving, ensure you mimic its natural tropical environment:
- Light: Place in bright, indirect light. Avoid harsh, direct sunlight, which can scorch the delicate fronds.
- Water: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water as soon as the top inch of the soil begins to feel dry.
- Humidity: Thrives in high humidity. Mist daily or place near a humidifier to prevent dry, brown tips.
- Soil & Feeding: Use a rich, well-draining potting mix containing peat or coco coir. Fertilize once a month during the spring and summer.
