Review: Great service, thriving plant. - My firecracker plant is growing very well. It has already gone through one blooming cycle, so I expect it will thrive again next spring if I cover it during the winter. I was concerned when it first arrived because it was rather small. But it was well hydrated in the package. It has adapted well in my flowerbed.
Review: Patience is a virtue - I love adding different hues of red into my beds & planters to compliment the color of my metal roof so this guy naturally caught my eye. I loved the name too! I kept indoors over the colder months in a small pot, past the last frost, I transplanted it to a much larger pot & moved it out on to my southeast facing deck, tucking it a bit behind my grill to shelter it some from the scorching full sun. It's bloomed a small few flowers so far this season & has grown notably over the last couple months. It's a lil bit of a slow grower. I have a PE mesh greenhouse I'm purchasing to over winter my non-hardy potted plants so that's where this guy will go with some foil bubble liner & thermal masses to help retain heat as I'm in zone 7a. Time will tell if this plant is worth the investment as it continues to grow. I hope by next summer, it's a show stopper.

## Features

- Firecracker Fern (Russelia equistiformis) is a unique and interesting plant that is native to Mexico. It is not a true fern, despite the fern-like appearance of the lacy, delicate, elongated foliage that is actually a special type of leaf tissue known as a bract.
- This unique, low-growing plant produces fountain-like bursts of bright, scarlet-red tubular, nectar flowers that last for weeks, attracting hummingbirds and butterflies. It’s a versatile plant perfect for planters, baskets, or as a seasonal filler in colder regions.
- Care: When mature, plant in fertile, coarse, well-draining soil or potting media in a full sun. Water sparingly to maintain consistent soil moisture, but avoid overwatering. Feed a good quality, slow-release, bloom-boosting fertilizer with the initial planting and annually in spring thereafter. Prune after flowering to control size, shape.
- Indoor Growing: This plant can be grown indoors in conditions similar to those required for succulents. They require the full spectrum of light, warm temperatures, well-draining pots and coarse media. Modifications may be necessary to produce flowers indoors.
- Climate: Firecracker fern is a semi-tropical plant recommended for growing in Zones 9, 10, and 11. Protection from cold temperatures is required in all Zones for the longest life, best appearance, and earliest flowering. Note that Zone recommendations are based on average temperatures and does not consider other variables.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Arrived perfectly packaged!
*by L***N on March 11, 2023*

The plant arrived on time and was carefully packed for the safest travel. Buying plants online can be a gamble at times, but this seller has it figured out! The plant was healthy and safe and super easy to transfer to my hanging pot. I would Seinfeld but from this seller again.
