Doryopteris Pedata – Hand Fern
Bring a touch of the unusual into your home with the Doryopteris pedata, also known as the Hand Fern thanks to its striking fronds shaped like a delicate hand with outstretched fingers. This unique fern makes a fantastic talking point and is ideal for plant collectors or anyone looking for something a little different.
Unlike many traditional ferns, Doryopteris pedata has an upright growth habit, producing fan-like fronds that stand above the soil, making it a sculptural addition to your plant collection. It thrives indoors in bright, indirect light and enjoys a stable environment with warmth and humidity, making it perfect for homes, offices, or even terrariums where it can be admired up close.

💧 Water: Keep soil evenly moist, but never soggy. Allow the top layer to dry slightly before watering again.

How should I water my Autumn Fern when growing it indoors?
Keep the soil consistently moist by watering when the top inch feels dry to the touch. Reduce the frequency of watering during the winter months to prevent waterlogging.
Can this fern be planted outside in my garden, and does it require any special care in the colder months?
Yes, the Autumn Fern is hardy and can thrive in UK outdoor gardens. Plant it in a shaded area with rich, moist soil. In winter, protect the plant with a mulch layer to help insulate the roots from extreme cold.
I’m new to terrariums. How suitable is the Autumn Fern for such setups and what should I consider when adding it?
This fern is ideal for terrariums due to its preference for high humidity and indirect light. Ensure your terrarium has a well-draining substrate and is placed in a location that receives bright, indirect sunlight. Regular misting will help maintain the necessary humidity levels.

Very happy with the product and the service, thanks 😊
Thank you so much for holding back the delivery due to it clashing with the funeral of my dear mother in law, it was truly appreciated. My wife was also taken aback by your thoughtfulness by including a lovely bouquet of dried flowers and card with kind words. The flowers will always remind us of Elaine and sit pride of place on the sideboard in our dining room. You are truthfully some of the very best people we have dealt with, online and on the phone.
Amazing, personalised customer service! Always very friendly, approachable and dedicated. Thank you!
Items were as described, delivered promptly and very well packaged. Would order from this company again.
