Asparagus Sprengii 9cm
£4.99
A light and airy fern with fluffy, ruffled leaves. This lovely houseplant does quite well on its own or in a terrarium. It’s crucial to supply a well-lit spot that is shielded from direct sunlight. As the plant grows the foliage will start to cascade over the side of the pot. This is natural and nothing to worry about. Potting to a hanging basket is perhaps a way of showing this feature off.
Size
Plant is 10cm to 25cm tall, grown in a 9cm recyclable plastic pot.
Position
Excellent general houseplant. Limited direct sun in summer. Full sun in the winter. Windowsills are ideal. East facing in the summer and south in the winter.
Humidity
Mist occasionally.
Watering
Always keep the compost moist.
Temperature
12-25 degrees centigrade is ideal.
Toxicity
Human. Harmful if eaten.
Description
For countless aeons, ferns have graced our planet. They existed long before dinosaurs roamed the earth!
Most ferns like moist or humid environments, whether they be tropical or temperate.
Bathrooms, kitchens, and dark hallways are ideal environments for ferns. Anywhere that does not receive direct sunlight.
Ferns should never be allowed to dry out. For best results mist occasionally and place your plant on top of a tray of wet pebbles. This will help create a humid microclimate around the fern.
Fun Fact: Some ferns grow on things other than soil, like tree trunks and rocks. These are called epiphytic ferns. Because of this, you can affix them to a plank of wood and hang them as a piece of living wall art!
