Homeowner Growing Tips

Plant in the shade or part sun. Best in acidic to neutral soil; amend with compost before planting, and apply a layer of mulch, pine needles, or chopped leaves afterward. Provide consistant moisture, especially through the heat of summer. Remove spent fronds in early spring, when new growth is 6" high. Divide in spring as new leaves unfurl, if needed.

Great plants

Your plants are healthy and ready to plant. I have had limited problems when ordering 3 or more of the same plant. One of the same plant is full and healthy the other is very small and has not rooted in the 4” pot. I sent photos and told them about this and they sent the full rooted plant replacement.
I am very happy with their guarantee.

Crested painted fern

This plant is a large plant. That’s probably why some of the fronds were damaged. I tidied it up and it has new growth. I’m pleased with the size of the plant.
