Nephrolepis exaltata bostoniensis

I love the Boston Fern. It’s a beautiful plant. It adds beauty to my collection of plants.
Thanks Rooted!

My first fern came very sad and wilted. I wrote to Rooted and showed pictures and they immediately sent a replacement. The new fern came in looking sooo much better. It’s very full for having ordered a small. Here’s hoping my cat (ironically named Fern) doesn’t try to eat it.

My cat loves to chew on things, real and artificial plants included, so I have been afraid to have any in my home. We recently did some renovations at the house and I really wanted plants. The Rooted website was fabulous in helping me find a plant that wouldn't hurt Shadow if he chewed on it. Their suggestions for keeping cats away from plants included having cat grass for them, hoping that they'd leave yours alone. Fantastic experience.

So bright and big! I was surprised at how big this one was since I ordered a small. Impressed!
