New York Fern - Thelypteris Noveboracensis

The New York Fern is an easy-to-manage houseplant often used in homes and offices to improve air quality. It doesn’t require much light and thrives in indoor or outdoor temperatures.

New York Ferns Cleans the Environment

This fern is popular for its health benefits. 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 respiratory issues.

Caring for delicate plants may also offer independent benefits. The plant imparts a calming atmosphere in any space, reducing stress hormones and supporting well-being.

Caring For New York Fern Plants

The plant prefers partial, moderate indoor light. Direct sunlight exposure can damage its delicate leaves. Watering when you first plant it helps moisten the soil to mimic woodland soil environments. Only water the top inch and allow the water to seep into the deeper layers with time.

Decorating Indoors or Landscaping Outdoors

You can decorate your kitchen, bathroom, or living areas with native ferns. Just make sure you arrange them in areas with indirect lights. Their lush fronts make them an attractive addition to any indoor décor theme.    Discover our collection of Ferns for interior spaces to provide fresh air and lush greenery year-round.

This Is How Your Plants Will Look upon Delivery

Choose early spring or fall when the soil is moist and cool to plant healthy bare-root ferns. You can also use dormant plants to grow year-round. When you arrive, please soak the roots in water for several hours to rehydrate them. Ferns thrive in moist and shaded areas. Dig a hole wide and deep enough to spread out the roots comfortably. Position the fern so the crown (where the roots meet the fronds) is just at or slightly below ground level. Gently backfill with soil firmly around the roots, and thoroughly water to settle the soil and eliminate air pockets. Apply a 2-3 inch layer of mulch for weed control and to retain moisture, ensuring the mulch does not touch the crown. Water during dry periods is used to keep soil moist but not soggy. Avoid fertilizing in the first year, as ferns prefer nutrient-rich soil over direct fertilization.
