Arachniodes 'Variegata' (11cm pot)

This variegated Japanese or Holly Fern has hard glossy fronds and a distinctive yellow stripe through the centre of the foliage. This evergreen fern is often grown as a houseplant as well as providing year round interest in a shady part of the garden, mixed with other shade lovers like hostas and astilbes.

• Prefers a neutral to acid, moist to well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade.
• Height: 50cm
• Spread: 50cm

As a houseplant:

• Best in medium light or indirect sunlight.


• Keep soil moist but not waterlogged so allow the top 1cm of soil to dry out before watering again


• You can add some houseplant feed once per month in spring and summer although usually the nutrients provided in the compost will be adequate for a year until you come to re-potting
