How to care for your Phyllitis Scolopendrium

  • Soil: Prefers well-draining, humus-rich soil. Amend the soil with compost or other organic matter before planting if necessary.
  • Watering: Water the plant deeply and regularly, especially during the first year after planting. Ensure that the soil around the plant remains moist but not waterlogged. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot.
  • Sunlight: This plant prefers partial to full shade. Be sure to plant it in a location where it can receive filtered sunlight or dappled shade.
  • Fertiliser: Does not require regular fertilisation. However, you can feed it with a balanced, water-soluble fertiliser every few months during the growing season to encourage healthy growth.
  • Pruning: Prune in late Winter or early Spring to remove any dead or damaged fronds and to shape the plant as desired. Avoid pruning in the Autumn, as this can stimulate new growth that may be damaged by Winter weather.
  • Mulching: Apply a layer of organic mulch around the base of the plant to help retain moisture and suppress weeds.

With proper care, your Phyllitis Scolopendrium will provide year-round beauty and enjoyment in your garden or indoor space.
