Moss, Ferns & Cryptogams

Fern ID

I was given in a pot with several different type of houseplants. One was this fern. I Seperated the plants and now the fern is in its own pot. I don't know much about ferns since this is my first one. The link below are some pictures of the fern. Thanks in advance.

hello,

I have found an interesting link that can give you an idea about the name of your fern. I think it is closely related to the Maidenhair Fern. But you can see for yourself and chose which matches to your fern. I hope this helps you.

Thanks

This is a Nephrolepis exalta (Boston Fern) cultivar. Not sure which one though.
