Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Cotton Candy Fern different from regular Boston Ferns?
The Smithii variety features incredibly dense, fluffy fronds with a unique chartreuse color that regular Boston Ferns don't have. The texture is much softer and more cloud-like, creating an almost ethereal appearance that's perfect for adding textural interest to any space.
Does this fern really purify air effectively?
Yes! Like all Boston Fern varieties, the Cotton Candy Fern is an excellent air purifier, removing formaldehyde, xylene, and benzene from indoor air. The dense, fluffy fronds actually provide more surface area for air purification than regular ferns.
How can I maintain the fluffy texture of the fronds?
Maintain high humidity (50-70%), provide consistent moisture without overwatering, and mist the fronds regularly. The fluffy texture is enhanced by proper humidity levels and gentle air circulation around the plant.
Is this plant safe around pets and children?
Absolutely! Nephrolepis ferns are completely non-toxic to cats, dogs, and humans, making them perfect worry-free choices for families who want to enjoy their stunning cotton candy-like foliage and air-purifying benefits safely throughout their home.
Why are my fronds losing their chartreuse color?
Loss of the bright chartreuse color usually indicates too much direct sunlight or insufficient humidity. Move to bright, indirect light and increase humidity levels. The vibrant lime-green color should return with proper care conditions.

These surge protectors are rated some of the best you can get
These surge protectors are rated some of the best you can get, so I have been purchasing them for many years. Even though their shell is made of plastic, I've had excellent luck with them over the years without any problems. Recently, one of them had the green light stop working intermittently. I emailed APC and got a replacement without a bunch of hassle. I simply sent them the serial number on the current one and they sent a replacement. It's been a long time since I've experienced this kind of customer support from anywhere. I have to say that APC's customer support is excellent and I will continue to buy their products without question.

Excellent build quality, easy to set up
The stand is sturdy and heavy. As far as I can tell, the wood and metal are genuine and high quality. I had no issues with the base (or included controller stand) being unstable or wobbly. Both were rock solid. You can slide the controller stand left or right, but there's no height adjustment for the headphone stand. However most headphones should still fit just fine. Setup was very easy. There's a few screws to connect the parts but that's it, and there's really no way to put anything in the wrong spot. The controller stand doesn't physically attach to anything, but it does have little rubber feet to keep it from sliding around easily. Overall a very well-designed and aesthetically pleasing addition to my desk!
