Why People Love This Plant
Scientifically known as Nephrolepis Obliterata, the Kimberley queen fern is a gorgeous bushy fern featuring sword like fronds.

Like most ferns it loves humidity and moisture and will likely need these elements supplemented to thrive in your home.
Your Guide to Care
Care: Easy to Medium
Light: Kimberley Queen’s can tolerate partial sun to lower light. If outdoors, they would prefer a nice shady area that receives dappled sunlight. Indoors, place them near a bright window receiving indirect sunlight. Direct sun is too much for this plant and will burn its fronds.
Water: This plant likes to be kept moist, do not let it dry out completely. Water your fern thoroughly once the top 1 to 2 inches of soil are dry to the touch. Depending on the light conditions you provide, this could mean watering multiple times per week.
Temperature: 60 to 70F is their ideal range, these ferns will not tolerate any frost. Make sure to bring your ferns inside before cooler temperatures arrive and to keep them away from drafty doors and windows.
Humidity: These ferns require lots of humidity or their fronds will likely appear crispy. Make sure to provide humidity by misting, a humidifier, or pebble tray.
Feeding: Fertilizer is not required, however we recommend fertilizing once a month during spring and summer.
Bonus
Kimberley Queen ferns are sensitive to hard water. Make sure to let tap water sit out overnight or use filtered water when watering.
While these ferns love water, they also like good drainage!
