Product description
Blechnum Silver Lady is an indoor plant that has many classic features of the Fern plant. Commonly known as the Silver Lady Fern, this plant can be placed in any area where light shade can be given to the plant. This will open up a lot of different options for placement, including homes, offices, window sills, conservatories and even bathrooms. The plants tropical look and style is kept in tact by a well-followed care process. This will involve you watering the plant well for the first twelve weeks as it settles in, then less-so after that period. Misting the plant is also recommended to keep it fresh, but avoid doing this too often as the Silver Lady will not appreciate that.

Depending on seasonality, deciduous plants may be supplied in their dormant state and without leaves. Plants may also be pruned back, lower than stated heights, to encourage new growth.

House Plant Size Guide
House plants come in a wide array of shapes and sizes depending on the variety and maturity of the plant.
6cm/12cm/15cm/19cm/23cm nursery pots are the most common size of pot that they are sold in. This measurement is the diameter at the top of the pot.
12cm potted plants are the most popular providing great value for money and an instant impact. Larger plants that come in pots of 20cm+ are great for making a statement in any room and can represent years of growth to get to that level of maturity and size.

Top Tip
To keep your Blechnum fern healthy and looking its best, remove any dead or damaged fronds to encourage new growth and maintain a tidy appearance. In colder climates, protect the plant with a layer of mulch during winter to insulate the roots. Avoid planting in overly windy areas, as the delicate fronds can be easily damaged.
How to Water
Blechnum ferns thrive in consistently moist soil but dislike waterlogging. Water deeply and regularly, especially during dry spells or in warmer months, to ensure the soil remains evenly moist. Mulching with bark or compost helps retain moisture and regulate soil temperature. During winter, reduce watering slightly but do not let the soil dry out completely. Avoid overhead watering to prevent fungal issues on the fronds.
How to Plant
To plant Blechnum ferns, choose a shaded or partially shaded location with well-draining, humus-rich soil. Prepare the area by loosening the soil and incorporating organic matter like compost or leaf mould to improve moisture retention and nutrients. Dig a hole large enough to accommodate the root ball, ensuring the crown is level with the soil surface. Space plants 45–60 cm apart to allow room for their arching fronds to spread. After planting, firm the soil gently and water thoroughly to settle the roots.
