You will receive 2 x rooted strands pack of this fern of similar size to 3rd image. Simply pot up in waterlogged soil or place in pond 15cm deep below water surface for attractive large floating leaves.
Plants currently in dormancy, perfect time before spring to add them to the collection
Ecology:
Very attractive Australian native with colourful clover-like leaves floating on the surface of ponds. Incredibly this plant is actually a type of fern adapted to life in wetlands. Our particular strain available originated from Western Sydney, where it's population sadly now locally extinct from development. Nonetheless it will hopefully continue to exist for many years to come with a nice population in our habitat pond and those who grow our plants.
3rd image is roughly the sized plant you will receive bare rooted and carefully packaged.
Care:
Grow this plant in a sunny position submerged in your pond or potted water garden to encourage attractive large floating leaves. Can also grow well on the edges of ponds emergent although our form seems to prefer being submerged.
Note:
- You may receive additional species in the pack (duck weed etc) Doing our best to purify our collections and stop frog movement between our cultures!
- Protect your local biodiversity, do not release any plant into your local environment even if native. Plants from cultivated sources may not be of genetic local provenance and interfere with local population ecology and genetics
- We do our best to check for hitch hikers before sending but we can't guarantee there wont be any. We suggest all plants be quarantined to contain any potential hitchhikers (algae to aquatic & land snails/inverts ) no matter the supplier
- Apologies we cannot send plants internationally to WA, TAS or NT (Biosecurity)
- Please pay for plants/items by 1pm Saturday to give us time to package the plants before post day Mondays. Payment after 1pm Saturday will mean plants posted the following week. If there is a public holiday during the post week we will post the following week to avoid the plant spending excess time in transit
- Be aware we cannot claim responsibility for delayed times in postage.
- We do our best to carefully package & post on Sundays/Mondays to minimise delays in transit. We care about our plant life some of which are rare, we want the plants to arrive to you in the best possible condition. But please note some factors are out of our control especially in current times
Happy Growing
