Maidenhair Ferns or Adiantum fragrans have gorgeous fine, green foliage on their wiry dark almost-black stems. Maidenhairs like to be kept moist but not wet, and they do not like being dry. Don't worry though, if it ever dries out and dies back it is OK! Cut back to about 2cm from the base and give it a good soak. Use some Maxicrop fertiliser and just wait, it will send up new fronds. Perfect for a patio or indoors out of direct midday or afternoon sun, but in a nice bright position.

LAMIUM 'SNOW N FROST'
Lamiums make very ornamental, yet tough, ground covers and are particularly useful for low light areas where the silvery leaves of this variety gives a real
lift. With long flowering from late spring through to autumn of clusters of white flowers, these beauties are wonderful for softening the edge of a shady path and will tolerate half a day of sun. A height of only 10cm Snow n Frost is great in hanging baskets, pots and cascading over retaining walls.
Flowers and foliage filled with inspiration- Carolyn
Also known as the Snake plant, this variety of Sansevieria features dark green almost black foliage that contrasts with its vibrant yellow.
Snake plants are super dry tolerant and hardy. Position in a bright room with indirect sunlight for optimal growth, however the Sansevieria will also tolerate lower light conditions.
Allow the soil to dry out between watering, plants can survive long periods without water, especially under low light. In the warmer months water fortnightly to monthly, and in winter water at most once a month or even less frequently!
Sansievieria do not require much feeding as they are slow growing. They can be repotted when they are pot bound but can be left for many years in the same pot, however growth will slow dramatically. It can grow to 40cm tall and 30cm wide.
Bok choy is an annual vegetable plant that is native to China. It has thick, green stalks that grow vertically in a tight, rosette-shaped bunch with bright green leaves that bloom upwards and outwards. Bok Choi—also known as Chinese cabbage, bok choi, and pak choi—is a member of the cabbage family that makes a popular ingredient in Asian cuisines such as stir-fries or noodle soups. There are several varieties of bok choy, including baby bok choy, which is a popular variety for cooking because of its smaller size.
Choose a sunny or partly shaded spot with well-drained soil and dig in some Pure Magic Compost.
Water regularly to keep the soil moist. Spread an organic like pea straw or lucerne, around plants to help conserve soil moisture.
Apply a Maxicrop Seaweed Fertiliser once a fortnight to support and boost plant growth.
The plant is ready to harvest as soon as it has grown leaves large enough to be eaten. Harvest the outer leaves using a sharp knife, cutting the stems at the base of the plant. Snip as required to encourage more leafy growth. Alternatively, cut the entire plant.
