Tectaria hilocarpa - 8cm pot / 17cm
£34.99Price
Tectaria hilocarpa is a fern for anyone whose taste in foliage has become pleasantly peculiar. Welcome. There's room here.
Forget the feathery outline you might expect from a fern. This one has broad, elongated fronds with an uneven, textured surface and mottled green colouring. It brings a forest-floor feel to a shelf, with enough detail to stop you mid-watering round. Those tightly curled new fronds are part of the entertainment as they slowly open.
I would give this tropical fern warmth, humidity and a sheltered position with gentle light. Keep its mix lightly moist, with drainage and airflow. It is a rewarding choice for someone who enjoys checking on a plant, rather than discovering it behind the sofa every third month.
