The Jester’s Crown Fern, scientifically known as Nephrolepis exaltata ‘Jester’s Crown,’ is a charming variety of the Boston Fern celebrated for its lush, ruffled fronds that resemble a regal crown. Native to tropical regions such as Australia and New Guinea, this fern thrives in bright, indirect light and high humidity, making it an ideal choice for bathrooms or kitchens where moisture levels are naturally higher. It typically grows up to 24 inches tall and wide, forming a dense, bushy appearance that adds elegance to indoor spaces. The plant prefers consistently moist, well-draining soil and benefits from occasional misting to maintain humidity. With proper care—such as avoiding direct sunlight, watering when the top inch of soil is dry, and feeding lightly during the growing season—the Jester’s Crown Fern can live for many years, offering a timeless touch of greenery to any home.
