Overview

When they first unfurl, the fronds of this compact fern are a bright pinkish red, but as time goes on, they initially turn bronze before settling on green. This makes them a more unusual addition to the home, where they will make handsome stand-alone specimens - or they could be used to add a splash of colour to an all-green collection. Please note that the pot in the photograph is not supplied with the plant (which is sent out in a simple nursery pot). They do however make excellent potted plants, and if you wish to pot yours up, we do have a wide range of pots on our website to choose from. Home care: Keep the compost moist (but not waterlogged) at all times, but this can be cut back a little in winter, and place in a bright spot away from direct sunlight. These ferns love a humid atmosphere, so mist the leaves regularly with water and/or place the pot on pebbles in a tray filled with water. Maintain temperatures above 10°C in winter and avoid summer temperatures above 25°C. Repot in spring when the plant becomes root-bound.
