Thompson and Morgan Fern Blechnum Volcano Plant in Pot 9cm 2 Pack

Discover the exotic allure of *Blechnum brasiliensis* 'Volcano', a compact fern ideal for patio pots. Its impressive fronds, reaching up to 70cm, infuse a tropical essence into your home or garden. A captivating alternative to Dicksonia tree ferns, this recent introduction to UK gardens has quickly become a favourite among gardening enthusiasts.
Witness the spectacle of young fronds emerging in striking volcanic bronze tones, gradually transforming into a vibrant, glossy green as they mature. This dwarf fern flourishes in low-light environments and demonstrates hardiness suitable for most UK gardens, withstanding temperatures as low as -5°C (23°F). For optimal growth, provide a sheltered location with winter protection.
Cultivate *Blechnum brasiliensis* in moist, acidic, and humus-rich soil. While hardy enough for the majority of UK gardens, tolerating temperatures down to -5°C (23°F), regular misting of the fronds is essential to maintain high humidity, preventing scorching in drier atmospheres. Water generously during growth periods and moderately throughout the winter months.
For best results, plant in a dappled shade position, allowing it to reach a height of up to 120cm and a spread of up to 120cm. Please note that images are for illustrative purposes only, showcasing the expected results upon maturity. Varying growing conditions may influence the outcome. The image may also illustrate the supplied plant, which can vary due to seasonal changes (e.g., deciduous plants losing leaves in colder months).
