Expert Foxtail Fern Tips

Advice from our growing experts

Water Wisely

Water Wisely

Although foxtail ferns store water in their tuberous roots, they still thrive best with consistent moisture. Avoid overwatering by always checking the soil before you add more.

Boost Growth

Boost Growth

Apply a slow-release fertilizer during spring and summer to encourage lush, dense foliage. Our nursery-grade fertilizer is ideal for consistent feeding.

Protect From Heat

Protect From Heat

If planting outdoors, shield the fern from harsh afternoon sun to prevent frond burn. Indoors, a spot with filtered light is ideal.

These tips are based on 30+ years of professional growing experience at our Florida nursery.

This shop has the most fantastic, healthy, gorgeous plants. I am a repeat customer and have never been disappointed. In fact the plants have always exceeded my expectation and plants are often much larger than expected. Packaging is some of the most professional I've seen, with not one leaf damaged. I'll be back for more.
