Description

Adiantum raddianum - delta maidenhair fern

APPEARANCE : Small rounded lacy foliage on glossy dark stems. Upright when young, becomes arched and cascading as the stems grow.
USE FOR : Shaded, moist areas of the tropical garden, cracks in walls and paths, understory beneath trees, alongside water features, living green walls, indoors.
PLANTING: Plant carefully ensuring the crown of the fern is above the soil line. Ensure the growing medium is well drained to avoid wet feet. Remove old fronds to keep plants looking fresh and avoid disease. Mulch and water regularly until the plant is established, usually around 12 weeks.
CARE: Protect from frost and draughts, and keep moist during dry periods. Ferns thrive in humid warm conditions. Give the foliage a quick spray with water during dry times and avoid over watering. Apply a slow release fertiliser during spring and a liquid based fertiliser every 4 weeks during the warmer months, take care to dilute your solution to half the recommended dose to avoid burn. Re-pot container plants only if they are outgrowing their pots.
HEIGHT & WIDTH: 15 - 50 cm H x 50 cm W.
YOUR PLANTS : These are tubestock plants, healthy young plants with new roots that will establish quickly in your garden. The pot size is 80mm high and 42 mm wide.
