Frequently Asked Questions
Can a Nephrolepis Green Lady be hung? Yes — it’s actually its ideal spot. When hung, its fronds hang freely, creating a generous and spectacular fountain effect. Make sure the location stays bright (without direct sunlight) and that you can mist easily, as the air up high is often drier.
Is the Boston Fern suitable for a bathroom? Yes — it’s its most favorable location. The natural humidity of a bathroom replicates its original tropical habitat, keeps its fronds flexible, and greatly reduces the need for misting. Just a window is enough to provide a minimum of indirect light.

Discover in our indoor fern collection and in our bathroom plant selection.
Which fern to choose?
Ferns offer very varied textures and habits — here’s how the Green Lady stands out in our catalog:
- Nephrolepis 'Green Lady' (this plant) — long, cut fountain-like fronds, generous habit. The classic and lush Boston fern.
- Nephrolepis 'Macho' — sturdier, upright fronds, more imposing habit. The large size version.
- Phlebodium 'Blue Star' — cut blue-green fronds, airy graphic habit. The fern with a unique color.
- Asplenium nidus — wide, smooth rosette fronds, generous habit. The classic bird’s nest fern.
Why choose the Green Lady? It’s the Boston fern in its most classic and generous form — its long fountain-like fronds create an immediate leafy volume that lightly fills empty spaces.
Exposure & placement
The Green Lady enjoys indirect light and ambient humidity — a bright bathroom is her ideal spot. Our light and humidity guide explains how to optimize her placement.
- Light: indirect light — tolerates partial shade, avoid direct sun.
- Ideal: bright bathroom, living room, entryway, or office.
- Temperature: 18 to 24 °C, protected from drafts and direct heat sources.
- Soil: well-draining, rich potting mix kept slightly moist.
Place it slightly elevated — on a stool, shelf, or hanging — to highlight its fountain-like drooping habit. Find our tips in our trailing plants guide.
Watering & care
The Green Lady likes constant humidity but hates standing water. Check our watering guide to find the right rhythm.
- Watering: regular — keep the soil slightly moist without soaking.
- Frequency: 1 to 2 times per week depending on the season.
- Humidity: mist several times a week — or place it in a bright bathroom.
- Drainage: essential to prevent fronds from yellowing.
- Care: remove dry fronds to encourage growth.
If the frond tips turn brown, it’s the first sign of air that’s too dry — double the misting frequency or place the pot on a saucer of moist clay pebbles.
Decor ideas & plant pairings
Its generous fountain-like shape and finely cut foliage create a unique airy plant effect — a fern that fills empty spaces with an incomparable natural texture.
- In combination: pair it with a Calathea Makoyana or a Maranta fascinator for a tropical arrangement with contrasting foliage — all share the same needs for indirect light and humidity.
- Basket included: the woven natural fiber basket with chevron border is included — the set is ready to display with nothing else needed.
- Atmosphere: perfect hanging, on a high shelf or stool in a living room or bathroom — its fountain-like cascading shape creates an immediate urban jungle effect.
Verdeia tips
- High humidity essential — this is its most important need. During winter heating, dry air is its main enemy. Mist daily, place the pot on damp clay pebbles, or install a humidifier nearby. A bright bathroom naturally solves this issue.
- Protect the basket from moisture — the woven natural fiber basket is decorative, not waterproof. Place a waterproof saucer inside to prevent watering moisture from damaging the fibers over time.
- Effective air purifier — Nephrolepis exaltata is one of the most effective ferns for absorbing formaldehyde and xylene. Non-toxic to cats, dogs, and children — a valuable advantage for homes with pets.
- Repot every 12 to 18 months — the Green Lady is a fast-growing fern that fills its pot in one to two seasons. Repot in spring into a slightly larger pot with fresh substrate to maintain vigorous growth.

FAQ – Everything to know before adopting your Verdeia plant
How are my plants prepared before shipping?
All our plants are selected from our European partner nurseries. Before shipping, they are watered, cleaned, and protected with breathable, secure packaging. Each package is designed to ensure your plant arrives in perfect health, without any transport-related stress.
Will the plant look exactly like the photo?
The photos accurately represent the variety and the stated size. Since each plant is unique, slight differences in shape, foliage, or color may occur — and that’s part of their charm.
What are the delivery times and conditions?
Shipping is done within 48 business hours, with tracked delivery within 2 to 5 business days. Delivery costs €5.60 — free for orders over €50. You will receive a tracking link as soon as the package is shipped.
What to do upon receiving my plant?
Open your package as soon as you receive it and carefully remove the plant from its packaging. Let it acclimate for 24 hours in its new environment before watering. If it has been slightly stressed during transport, it will recover its shape after one or two days in the light.
What to do if my plant arrives damaged?
Contact us within 48 hours with a photo of the issue. Our team will assess the situation and offer you the best solution: replacement, partial refund, or recovery advice.
Can I return a plant?
Since plants are living beings, standard returns are not possible. However, we guarantee good health upon delivery: if the plant arrives damaged, it will be replaced free of charge. For any other cases (order error, decorative pot, accessory), returns are possible within 14 days.
