37. Boston Ferns are proliferous and easy to grow – perfect for a budding botanist!

Boston Ferns are incredibly easy to find. In fact, it’s often tricky in spring to avoid running into Boston Ferns at any big box store or garden center. While ferns are some of the fussier houseplants you can grow, Boston Ferns are among the most natural ferns to grow, requiring only low to medium light and ample watering. Ferns will never complain about a bit of mist, as they enjoy humidity. Don’t let ferns get too dry, as that causes a great deal of stress. Thanks to their abundant foliage, ferns are great at purifying the air of common household pollutants and provide a nice amount of oxygenation.
