How easy am I to care for?
Our Miniature Tree Fern, or Blechnum gibbum ‘Silver Lady’, is an elegant fern with attractive feathery fronds that in mature specimens resemble a shuttlecock as they radiate from the centre of the plant. It is a robust species that is quite tolerant of dry atmosphere compared with other indoor fern species.
When mature, the ferns start to form a black, scaly trunk that can eventually reach a height of 90cm.
All our potted plants come in compostable coir pots.
Caring for your plant
Light
Low to medium light. Avoid direct sunlight
Watering
Keep the soil moist, but not wet, and if possible, water with rainwater.
Pruning
Like all ferns, this species cannot be pruned. Dead fronds should be cut back to the base of the plant with a sharp knife
Feeding
A very weak solution of dilute fertilizer can be added to the water at every watering
Pest & Diseases
Keep a lookout for mealybugs, which, if found should be physically removed
