Air-purifying ferns for that one dark corner!
The 'Green Lady' cleans the air with her thin, pointed leaves! The sword fern removes impurities from the air and converts them into oxygen. This jungle plant cannot handle temperatures below 15 degrees. Always keep the soil moist, without letting the plant stand in water. Spray the leaves occasionally. That way, they don't dry out. Ferns like a spot with moderate sun, so this plant should not be placed in full sun. A charming addition to any room in the house!

Care
The fern (Nephrolepsis exaltata) is a plant native to tropical forests and really does not like direct sunlight! The sword fern likes to be kept humid so we recommend spraying the leaves regularly with rainwater. If the air is too dry, the edges of the leaves will dry and curl. This plant does not like to strong a fertiliser, so we recommend halving the dosage suggested on dry or liquid fertiliser packets for green plant houseplants.
Water less in the winter keeping the plant slightly drier. Wait until spring to resume watering and feeding.
