Streamline NYC Fox Planter

Product Information

For indoor foxtail ferns, place your pot in a spot that gets bright, indirect light. Do not stand it in direct sunlight on a window sill as this will damage your plant. If you notice that the leaves are turning yellow, this could mean that your plant is getting too much direct sun.

I enjoy using organic mulch that is made up of weed-free straw and shredded bark. Mulch helps to keep the soil cool and retain moisture. Plant your foxtail fern into all-purpose potting soil. It loves rich organic matter, and I added loads of decomposing compost to my pot. Start off determining what size planter you require. They come in small, medium, large and tall. Don’t forget to consider how deep the plant’s roots will grow. Of course, if you’re working with a few different types of plants, you can always buy a set that comes with one planter in each size.Foxtail ferns enjoy warm climates that are slightly higher in humidity. While your average home of 40% to 50% is adequate, you can increase the humidity by mist-spraying or using water pebble trays. Installing a small humidifier in your indoor garden will make your plant thrive. This could be a sign of under fertilizing. Feed your plant once a month during the growing season with a balanced water-soluble fertilizer. Water well before pouring fertilizer onto the soil. Foxtail fern thrives in conditions that are above average humidity. Average homes have a humidity of 40% to 50%. While this will probably be fine for the most part, increasing it will make your plant that much happier. Your goal is to fill your pot to mimic the natural humus-rich loamy soil found in woodlands where foxgloves naturally grow. Potting Up Foxgloves

Growing these types of foxgloves in pots makes it easier for gardeners to move them undercover to a frost-free location for the winter months. Choosing Plant Pots In the ground, spacing foxgloves correctly is important and you should plant them at least 30-35cm apart to allow the rosettes to grow sufficiently. The foliage grows in a plume-formation with dense 1 inch (2.5cm) needle-like leaves that point upwards. Spider mites can become a problem in winter if the humidity is very low. You may not see the mites, but you will see fine webbing among the leaves. Increasing the humidity will help. They make great focal plants at the centre of a pot, surrounded by other flowering plants that look good with them and which, of course, enjoy similar growing conditions. Potted Foxglove Care

Most of these pests can be removed by mist-spraying with a natural pesticide. Solutions of Neem oil are a good choice. This natural oil has a bitter taste that repels pests. Foxtail fern enjoys light shade. They are ideal for planting in east-facing gardens or standing near east-facing windows. You can also plant your foxtail fern in a shady north-facing garden. It will enjoy some morning sun but does not want direct hot afternoon sun as this will damage the plant.

If your plant is mature and you notice roots growing up above the soil, it is time to repot. Choose a larger pot for your plant. The Foxtail fern is a delight to look at, with stunning dense emerald-green foliage that retains its color through the year. Hardier species can work well in containers, but container growing can be particularly beneficial (even where there are other areas of a garden to plant in) when growing more tender foxgloves that require winter protection. If your plant is growing outdoors, give it enough water to thoroughly wet the soil to a depth of 6 inches to 8 inches (15cm to 20cm). This will allow the roots to extend deeper into the soil, and make it more drought-resistant. Remember to rotate your pot by 90 degrees, once a week to allow all sides of the plant to get the same amount of light.
