Cotton Candy Fern (Nephrolepis exaltata 'Suzi Wong') ☁️🌿

Common Name: Cotton Candy Fern, Suzi Wong Fern
Origin: Tropical regions of the Americas and Southeast Asia

Description:

The Cotton Candy Fern is a soft, fluffy variety of Boston Fern with fine, airy fronds that resemble the texture of spun sugar—hence its sweet name! It forms a lush, delicate mound of feathery green foliage that brings softness and movement to any indoor setting.

Its compact size and elegant, cloud-like look make it perfect for tabletops, hanging baskets, or plant shelves where it can gently spill over the edge. A must-have for fern lovers who want a light, whimsical touch.

🌱 Care Tips:

Light:
Thrives in bright, indirect light or dappled shade. Can tolerate lower light, but avoid direct sun, which can scorch the fronds.

Water:
Keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy. Water when the top inch feels slightly dry—don’t let it fully dry out. Cotton Candy Ferns love consistent moisture.

Humidity:
High humidity is key! Mist regularly or place near a humidifier. Perfect for bathrooms or kitchens with good indirect light.

Temperature:
Prefers temperatures between 16°C to 26°C (60°F to 79°F). Keep away from drafts and cold, dry air.

Soil:
Use a rich, well-draining potting mix with good moisture retention. A peat-based mix works well.

Fertiliser:
Feed every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer with a diluted liquid fertiliser. Avoid over-fertilising—this plant is delicate.

Pet Friendly:
✅ Yes! The Cotton Candy Fern is non-toxic and safe for curious pets and little ones.
