Top Tips
Don't be afraid to plant in dry shade, just make sure these are kept well-watered.
Care Information
Planting:
- Unpack plugs immediately and stand them in water for an hour.
- If you cant do this, they can sit in their supplied 'mini greenhouse' for up to a week if upright and not too wet.
- Plugs may be slightly dry or yellow after being in the dark box in the post, but theyll quickly recover and still look exceptional before too long.
- Put the plugs somewhere warm, light, and airy, such as a windowsill or greenhouse.
- When potting on, handle plugs carefully. For best results, pot on using 9cm pots Shuttle Trays, using good quality, multi-purpose compost.
- Give ferns a good water initially, then only when the top compost starts to dry. They dont like to be left in standing water.
Aftercare:
- Low maintenance and easy to grow, just feed and water ferns regularly. Apply water and feed below the fronds until the ferns are fully established.
- In spring, tidy and add a mulch of well-rotted manure or garden compost around the crown of each fern.
Pruning:
- Little pruning is needed and don't cut back ferns in the autumn - leave the fronds as protection for the crowns of the plants.
- Clean up any old or dead fronds in early spring before new fronds uncurl. Clear away any debris to encourage good air circulation.
