How to care for Blechnum brasiliense Volcano:
While this fern is low-maintenance once established, regular watering is important, especially in dry spells, to keep the soil consistently moist.
Remove any dead or damaged fronds in spring to promote healthy new growth and maintain its tidy appearance. Mulch around the base to retain moisture, but avoid piling it up against the crown to prevent rot. Protect over the winter with cloche or horticultural fleece as low temperatures can be damaging.
