Blechnum gibbum 'Silver Lady'
miniature tree fern
- 19cm pot | 30cm tall
- £16.99
- available to order from late spring
Delivery options
- Standard £5.95
- Position: Indirect light
- Soil: Peat-free, general purpose potting compost
- Rate of growth: Slow
- Hardiness: Tender (will need winter protection)
- Current height: approximately 30cm (+ or - 10% including the pot)
- Pot cover: choose a 20cm pot cover to give a good fit over the pot
- Home care: Avoid handling the newly emerging fronds and water regularly in the growing season so that the compost remains moist but not waterlogged. Mist the leaves regularly with water - particularly in winter when the central heating is turned on. Blechnums tend to be intolerant to lime, so if possible, use rainwater. Maintain temperatures above 10°C in winter and repot in spring when the plant becomes root-bound.
Growing like a dwarf tree fern, ‘Silver Lady’ will slowly develop a slender, black trunk as it ages, and in time, the symmetrical, palm-like fronds will form a crown up to nearly 1m across. A tropical-looking house plant, it can also be used as seasonal, frost-tender addition to a shady spot in the summer garden.
