Boston Fern (Large) – (Nephrolepis exaltata)

A favourite of the Victorians, Boston fern is a large, striking plant. Long arching leaves provide excellent cover for smaller reptiles and amphibians. Tolerant of a wide range of temperatures and humidities.

An excellent plant for the roomy vivarium, Boston fern spreads by means of slender rhizomes that sprout new plants along their length. In this way it can colonise backgrounds and even climb cork tubes and mossy logs.
