The individual pinnae (leaflets) are as much as 2 to 8cm (1 to 3 inch) long and shallowly toothed, but not further divided. The pinnate vein pattern is also visible on these highly compound leaves.The round sori (clusters of spore-bearing organs) are in two rows near the margins on the underside of the pinnae.The fronds grow upright at first, then arch gracefully downwards.

Planting And Care
Nephrolepis exaltata is one of the easiest of the ferns to grow indoo These ferns need pliantly of space to develop their long fronds.
Rotate the plant from time to time to ensure symmetrical growth, but as far as possible leave it undisturbed.
In some of the extremely feathery forms of Nephrolepis exaltata Bostoniensis some of the fronds of the plant occasionally revers to the original species.
Cut out any long, insufficiently segmented fronds as soon as they appear.
If permitted to survive, they will take over the plant.
They need the high level of humidity provided by regular misting and trays of moist pebbles placed under their pots. Use trepid soft water if possible.
Once a week, apply a gentle shower with trepid soft water.
Nephrolepis Exaltata Aurea Care
They make good houseplants, but require bright, filtered light and humid air.
Propagate from runners between late winter and early spring. Of the commonly cultivated ferns, the Boston fern is the most tolerant to drought. The fern thrives best in humid conditions, so when grown as a houseplant it becomes necessary to mist the plant when relative humidity falls below around 80%.
