Boston ferns are evergreen ferns that are native to many tropical areas around the world, including Florida, Mexico, and Africa. They are a popular houseplant because they are easy to care for and don't require much sunlight.
 
Boston Ferns are tough plants that can tolerate light and dry conditions better than other species. They have long, graceful fronds covered with tiny leaves. Boston Ferns are ideally suited for growing in a hanging basket and can be used as accents in a planting of annual foliage plants.
 
Keep the soil consistently moist and the humidity relatively high. If the soil dries out completely, the fronds will turn brown and die. Water weekly to ensure the soil is moist and never completely dries out. Boston Ferns are versatile and happy in bright, indirect light, but can tolerate low light conditions.
