Ordered Tuesday at 8 PM, delivered Wednesday by 9:30 AM. Plant was healthy, tall (about 16 inches), came in the charcoal pot exactly as shown. The packaging was thoughtful — wood shavings, tied stems, no soil spill. Two weeks in and it's already pushed out a new leaf.
I have killed every plant I have ever owned. Got this for the bedroom. Watered it once in 6 weeks. Still alive, still growing. The team also responded on WhatsApp within an hour when I asked if it was getting too much sun. Not paid to say this.
Plant itself is gorgeous and very healthy. Only minor gripe — I expected the medium size to be taller, but it's closer to 14 inches than 18. Still very happy with it. The Khurja ceramic pot is honestly the best part.

The Boston Fern is a classic houseplant known for its graceful, arching fronds and lush green foliage. As a true fern, it reproduces via spores rather than seeds, giving it an ancient lineage that dates back millions of years. This plant is prized for its ability to create a soft, textured look in any space, making it a favorite for both traditional and modern interiors. The fronds emerge as tightly coiled fiddleheads that unfurl into delicate, feather-like leaves, adding visual interest and movement to your home. In India, ferns are often associated with cool, shaded spaces and are valued for their ability to purify the air while adding a touch of natural elegance.
Boston Ferns thrive in bright, indirect light but can adapt to lower light conditions. In Indian homes, an east or north-facing window is ideal, or a spot a few feet back from a west or south-facing window to avoid direct sun which can scorch the delicate fronds. These plants enjoy high humidity, making bathrooms, kitchens, and enclosed balconies perfect locations. If your home is dry, you can increase humidity by grouping plants together, using a pebble tray with water, or misting the foliage occasionally. Avoid placing your fern near air conditioners or heaters as these can dry out the air and stress the plant.
Proper watering is crucial for Boston Ferns. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, which may be every few days depending on your home's humidity and temperature. These plants love humidity, so in drier climates or during winter months when indoor heating is on, you may need to water more frequently. You can also increase humidity by placing the pot on a tray filled with pebbles and water, ensuring the pot isn't sitting directly in the water. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot, so make sure your pot has drainage holes and use well-draining soil.
One of the great advantages of Boston Ferns is that they are completely non-toxic to cats and dogs, making them a safe choice for pet-friendly homes. Unlike some other common houseplants, ferns don't contain harmful compounds that can cause illness if ingested by pets. This means you can enjoy the beauty and air-purifying benefits of the Boston Fern without worrying about your curious furry friends. However, while the plant itself is safe, it's still best to discourage pets from chewing on any houseplants to prevent potential digestive upset from ingesting soil or other materials.
