The Foxtail Fern is a beautiful accent to any room or patio area! This plant will add nicely to a tropical landscape or can be used as décor for your home. Furthermore, it is wonderful when used to add texture, just look at its sharp plumes filled with needle-like leaves!
Additionally, Foxtail Ferns can also be planted seaside as they have a moderate salt tolerance. Plant in a lightly shaded area to best avoid the afternoon sun in hotter areas. However, morning sun exposure is okay. If your plant is inside, make sure to give your Foxtail Fern bright light. Similarly, this fern will need humidity if you are growing indoors.
About Our Plants
Our soil is custom blended and contains only the highest quality Canadian peat. We don’t try to cut cost with cheaper mixes. Additionally, all of our plants are grown with 100 to 180 day time release fertilizer so you won’t be running out of it just when the plants arrive. This is not the case with the quick release 30 day fertilizers that many other companies tend to use.
We do approximately 90% of our own liners. Since the cost is relatively inexpensive, we put twice as many liners in each container for many of the varieties. Accordingly, this makes for a much fuller plant.
All of our plants are given more than adequate spacing. For instance, most of the flowering bushes and trellis plants have 4 square feet of spacing. The Boston fern hanging baskets, for example, have 6 square feet. This allows our plants to grow as big and full as possible.
