Cleans the air
Boston fern is one of the air-cleaning plants listed in NASA's clean air research.
Boston Fern
A classic fern with long, arching fronds, best grown in a hanging basket or on a stand. It wants shade, steady moisture and humid air, and does well on a shaded Mumbai balcony. It struggles on hot, dry, west-facing balconies in Bengaluru and Delhi, where the fronds crisp within days. It is safe around cats and dogs.

I had killed every plant I ever owned. Eleven months in, I have lost none.

We eat dinner on the balcony now. It used to hold a washing machine.

The lighting is what sold me. It looks like a hotel after dark.
