Just like fruit & veg, plants come in all shapes and sizes. Some might not come top of a beauty contest, but they'll still put a smile on your face for years to come. Our Perfectly Imperfect Plants are exactly that.
They might be a strange shape or have an odd mark, but they're still beautiful. No matter which way these plants grow, or the marks they show, they're still as healthy as every other plant we sell.
What are my imperfections?
- One side of me was facing a wall which means it's gone a bit yellow
- As I'm not 'perfect', I can't be returned, and I'm not covered by a guarantee
Faye, an Asparagus Fern, Asparagus Setaceus, or Lace Fern, isn't the most affectionate of plants. No really, she doesn't like being touched - in fact, she'll turn brown just to make a point!
Native to South Africa, Faye typically grows in the shadows of larger trees deep in humid forests, and believe it or not, she isn't actually a fern - she was just named so because she looks so fern-like!
If Faye is happy, she'll flower in the spring with small bell-shaped blooms that will eventually give way to tiny green berries.
Perfectly Imperfect, Asparagus Fern
Faye prefers bright indirect light to partial shade, without prolonged exposure to direct sun - a touch of morning sunlight however would be welcomed.
If you’re not sure what level of light you have, check the shadows cast by your plant:
- Minimal shadow = lower light
- Half shadow = indirect light
- Full shadow = direct sun
