Common ladyfern Athyrium filix-femina

Feed Common ladyfern
Shrubs develop new shoots and prepare their flowers during the spring period, therefore we must remember, by the end of the winter, to give it a good dose of humus or mature manure, or granular slow release fertilizer, to be added to the soil at the foot of the plant. During the spring we can choose a fertilizer rich in nitrogen and potassium, to mix with the irrigating water, every 20-25 days.

Care Common ladyfern
The Common ladyfern develops like a fern. The Common ladyfern is medium in size and 60 cm in height; in the winter it assumes a green colouring. These plants aren't evergreens, which means they lose their leaves some months during the year. These plants give origin to a brush with a rounded form.

Irrigation Common ladyfern
If we want to grow these plants in a vase, we should water them a bit more often, compared to plants cultivated in the ground; Every 2-3 years we should renew the substratum in the vase, or enrich with organic amender. Watering should be done very regularly, so that the ground is kept slightly moist; let’s wet every 1-2 weeks using 1-2 buckets of water .

Adversity Common ladyfern
Generally during this time of year we suggest a pre-emptive treatment with wide range insecticide and with a systemic fungicide, to prevent the attack from part of the aphids and the development of fungus diseases, often favoured by a mild and damp climate.

Substrate Common ladyfern
These plants need heavy and scarcely drained soils, which remain humid for a long time.
