Howea forsteriana (kentia)

Howea forsteriana (kentia) £129.99
Position: bright but indirect light Soil: fertile: good potting compost Rate of growth: slow Hardiness: tender (indoors only) Current height: approximately 170cm (including pot) Pot covers: choose a 26cm pot cover to give a good fit over the pot. One of the most popular palms which if you stepped back into the Victorian times would have been seen in many a drawing room. They are still popular today as they are easy to grow, evergreen and will compliment most rooms. Keep them away from direct sunlight as this can burn the leaves, and away from cold draughts. Home care: The golden rule is not to leave this plant sitting in water,- they like a moist soil but won’t like to have the roots being sodden so feel the top of the soil before watering. In the winter it will still need watering but not as much. It likes humidity, so mist the leaves regularly in hot weather or if it is in a warm room. Avoid repotting until it is really potbound as they don’t like to be disturbed.

Daphne bholua 'Jacqueline Postill' (daphne)

Daphne bholua ‘Jacqueline Postill’ (daphne) was £39.99 now £34.99
Position: full sun or partial shade Soil: moderately fertile, well-drained, humus-rich soil Rate of growth: slow-growing Flowering period: January and February Hardiness: borderline hardy (may need winter protection) Clusters of small, sweetly scented, deep pink buds open in January and February and are followed by rounded, purple-black berries. This choice deciduous or semi-evergreen shrub thrives in a sunny, sheltered position. This plant is very hard to propagate and slow growing, but well worth the patience and investment. Try it in a mixed or winter border or next to a path where its fragrance can be appreciated. Strongly upright in habit, it looks wonderful under-planted with a carpet of magenta or white Cyclamen coum. All parts of the plant are toxic if ingested. The plant in a 10.5cm pot will be approx 15-20cm tall, single stemmed. Garden care: Keep pruning to a minimum since the plant is very susceptible to die-back. Where necessary after flowering, lightly trim back to remove misplaced branches and maintain a compact habit.
