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.

This sheepskin rug is amazing! One of my favorite purchases!
Color: Cream Brown, Size: Round 48''
I loved the first one so much I came back and bought a larger one. The texture and the thickness are pure luxury. Well worth the money and there is no smell.

Very thick
Color: Ivory White, Size: Round 48'', Color: Ivory White, Size: Round 48''
I was pleasantly surprised that it was as thick and fluffy as it was for the price. I have another that I got that says it’s high pile and isn’t as nice as this one that says medium pile. Excellent for the price!

Not as pictured
Color: Ivory White, Size: Round 48''
The rug isn’t as pretty in person… choppy looking and noticeable. Different fur lengths and not cozy soft. I have other lamb skin rugs but this one doesn’t measure up. Sent it back…

Great valur

Soft and comfortable. Quality leather nsckrd. Genuine sheepskin. No off odors. I'm skinny and not on tailbone. Hoping this helps. The grey tipped is more of a bluish gray. Pretty but not s true gray.

On the fence? This is the sheepskin to get!
Size: 2' x 3' (Natural), Color: Wolf Tipped
I've been reading all the reviews for sheepskins on AMZ and felt this company was the one to go for and WOW did they deliver! The sheepskin came well wrapped but not vacuum packed and is even prettier in person than the pictures. It is super soft, fluffy and dense and mine measured 26" x 40". I absolutely love the wolf tipped colors: ivory, dark grey and a slight brownish hue. There is a slight odor but I don't find it offensive. It stayed put on my leather couch and sitting on it during a Netflix movie was heavenly warm and comfortable. I did not observe any shedding. Will definitely buy another wolf tipped one, once it becomes available as it is worth the money.
