New York Fern - Thelypteris Noveboracensis

New York Fern is an easy-to-manage native fern often used in shaded environments outdoors and also in homes and offices to improve air quality. It doesn’t require much light and thrives in indoor temperatures. 

 Research suggests it can detoxify compounds like formaldehyde, toluene, and xylene, reducing the concentration of toxic industrial contaminants in your living and working areas. Adding it to indoor spaces can improve air quality and reduce the risk of respiratory issues. The plant imparts a calming atmosphere in any space, reducing stress hormones and supporting well-being.

They prefer partial, moderate indoor light. Direct sunlight exposure can damage the plant’s delicate leaves. Watering after planting to moisten the soil and mimic woodland environments makes them thrive.

Awesome as Always!

The bare roots were soaked for 2 hours and then planted in humus/manure. Can't wait until Spring and watch them jump out of the ground!!!
Thank you!

bare root ferns arrived in good condition

Although the b are root plants arrived in good condition, I don't think I can leave a top-rating until we see what they do in the spring.

Ferns are fun

Ferns are fun but not easy to grow. Over the past few months I have ordered 2 sets of fern roots. Some are finally coming up. The ferns that are doing great I bought as plants. Frustrated but still hopeful that they will continue to come up
