Woodland Jungle Fern Collection

Don't be afraid to plant in dry shade, just make sure these are kept well-watered.

Planting:

• Unpack plugs immediately and stand them in water for an hour.
• If you can’t do this, they can sit in their supplied 'mini greenhouse' for up to a week if upright and not too wet.
• Plugs may be slightly dry or yellow after being in the dark box in the post, but they’ll quickly recover and still look exceptional before too long.
• Put the plugs somewhere warm, light, and airy, such as a windowsill or greenhouse.
• When potting on, handle plugs carefully. For best results, pot on using 9cm pots Shuttle Trays, using good quality, multi-purpose compost.
• Give ferns a good water initially, then only when the top compost starts to dry. They don’t like to be left in standing water.

Aftercare:

• Low maintenance and easy to grow, just feed and water ferns regularly. Apply water and feed below the fronds until the ferns are fully established.
• In spring, tidy and add a mulch of well-rotted manure or garden compost around the crown of each fern.

Pruning:

• Little pruning is needed and don't cut back ferns in the autumn - leave the fronds as protection for the crowns of the plants.
• Clean up any old or dead fronds in early spring before new fronds uncurl. Clear away any debris to encourage good air circulation.

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
