Kangaroo Fern Microsorum Diversifolium 6cm pot

Ferns have been around almost since the dawn of time growing in damp shaded forests across the world. From tropical forests to cooler woodlands, these living relics date back almost three hundred million years. Over this time, thousands of varieties have been formed in the wild and by modern cultivators with around ten to fifteen thousand different species in existence. Even today new Fern species are still being found in unexplored areas of the world.

Care tips:

• Ferns need good airflow to keep them happy and less susceptible to pests and disease so, make sure they are regularly trimmed.
• Ferns are sensitive to feed so feeding your Fern should be done after the plant has been watered. This will reduce the risk of shock and root scorch.
• Grouping Ferns together can help to improve the humidity and make their care a bit easier.
• Moisture is key to keeping Ferns happy. Planting your fern in a terracotta pot and then placing the pot into a large ceramic pot filled with compost will help to keep moisture levels high but not saturated.
• Brown and crispy leaves are a surefire indicator that the humidity or moisture levels in the soil are too low.
• If the plant is producing yellow leaves in the centre this is a sign there is too much moisture sitting on the foliage, this normally occurs from watering your plant through the foliage.
