These plants have arching stems which begin to trail with age. Each stem is covered in tiny branchlets, giving the plants a delicate, fernlike appearance; in fact they are not true ferns but related to the lilies. Use them to soften the outline of arrangements, or group with true ferns in a hanging basket. They thrive in most conditions and have a fresh, informal look which makes them suitable for most settings.Mini-climate
Warm, filtered sun.
Size
The stems can grow up to 3 feet in length. Small plants are offered for sale.
Feeding
Feed with standard liquid fertilizer every two weeks in spring and summer, and once a month in autumn and winter.
Potting
Repot in spring using soil-based potting mixture but only if the roots have completely filled the existing pot. If you don't want to move an older plant into a larger pot, topdress instead.
Special points
To keep plants in a decorative state for as long as possible, faded stems should be cut out as they appear.
