Why tree fern fiber?

Made to stay airy.
Built to hold just enough.

01

Healthy airflow

Tree fern fiber keeps its structure instead of slumping and packing down, leaving room for oxygen around developing roots.

02

Moist, not soggy

Springy fibers hold useful moisture while excess water drains away freely.

03

Easy to rewet

Unlike dry peat that can repel water, tree fern fiber soaks it right back up.

Telly’s tip: check pots more often at first.
