Hello,

I just bought a tree fern, I ask the garden centre about potting it, they
told me that a good size pot would do and I don't need good soil as it want
get any nutrients from the soil, I then ask them if it would be ok to use
hard core instead of soil as I have a load left over, they said this wood be
fine.

so.... I put the tree fern in the pot, filled it with some hard core, then
put some decretive pebbles on the top.

Is this OK? I have read on some websites that you should put it in well
drained soil.

Cheers

Steve
