House Plant Size Guide
House plants come in a wide array of shapes and sizes depending on the variety and maturity of the plant.

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
Pteris ferns thrive in humid conditions, making them ideal for bathrooms or kitchens with natural light. To encourage lush growth, feed them with a diluted, balanced liquid fertiliser every two weeks during spring and summer. Regularly remove any faded or damaged fronds to keep the plant looking fresh and healthy year-round.
How to Water
Water your Pteris fern regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. During the growing season, check the soil frequently to avoid it drying out completely. In cooler months, reduce watering slightly while still maintaining moisture. Use room-temperature water to avoid shocking the roots, and mist the leaves occasionally to maintain high humidity.
How to Plant
To plant Pteris, use a shallow pot with drainage holes and fill it with a well-draining, peat-based potting mix. Position the plant so that its roots are spread out, and ensure the crown is level with the soil surface. Gently firm the soil around the roots and water lightly. Place your Pteris fern in a location with bright, indirect light, away from direct sunlight, which can scorch its delicate fronds.
