How to use

Prepare the pot with drainage holes and a layer of coarse material if desired. Remove the plant from its current container, loosen the root ball gently and trim any damaged roots. Place a portion of the UN potting soil for ferns in the base of the new pot, set the plant to the appropriate depth and fill around the roots with the substrate, firming lightly to remove large air pockets. Water thoroughly after repotting to settle the mix and rehydrate the roots. For top-dressing, remove the top 1–2 cm of old soil and replace with fresh substrate.

Usage recommendations

Maintain indirect light and stable indoor temperatures for best results. Water according to the needs of fern species—keep the substrate evenly moist but avoid waterlogging; allow excess water to drain. Combine with routine fertilization suitable for ferns during the growing season if long-term nutrient support is required.
