An old favourite - one of the oldest plants in the world - that makes a modern garden feature, a tropical oasis, a balcony extravagance, or light well surprise.
These tree ferns are delivered as a potted trunk and have fronds beginning to unfurl. They can be planted outside but if temperatures are low or there is a late frost, this could turn the foliage brown.
They require protection in the colder months, in place or by overwintering under-glass.

For no fuss or mess you can put the plant in the growing pot it arrives in straight inside a decorative one. This also allows allows excess water to be drained after watering.
For a good fit the opening (not diameter) and height of the new decorative pot need to be several centimetres greater than the current growing pot.
Remember to take into account tapering, as the internal height of a pot will be measured from the centre to the top but the sides will taper in on a rounded pot.
