Boston Fern
Ferns want humidity more than most Seattle apartments naturally offer, so this is the one plant on our list we'll ask you to mist a couple times a week, or set on a tray of wet pebbles. In exchange you get one of the few genuinely pet-safe, lush green plants that doesn't look sparse — a bathroom with a window is often its favorite room in the house.
Care at a glance
Keep soil evenly moist, water every 4–5 days, mist between waterings. Non-toxic — safe around cats and dogs.
