DESCRIPTION

Nice to meet you, I'm Christmas Fern! Even though my name makes me sound like I am only around for the holidays, I am actually best known for my compound forest green foliage which keeps its colour all year round! I am also known for being very thirsty - I grow best in moist to wet soil - I will even tolerate some standing water! I am very low maintenance when it comes to upkeep and pruning, but I can be fussy about soil and prefer rich, acidic soils. Since I am common in a forest or woodland setting, I will feel happiest and most at in a shady and moist area of your garden.

Care Guide

  • Watering: Water the plant regularly, especially during the first growing season. Once established, the plant is drought-tolerant and can tolerate short periods of dryness.
  • Maintenance: It prefers well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter.
  • Pruning:In late winter or early spring, before new growth appears, prune away any old or damaged fronds. Cut the fronds back to the base of the plant, leaving a few inches of the frond stem.
  • (Optional):Fertilizer is not typically necessary for Christmas fern. If desired, you can apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in the spring, before new growth appears.
