How to Fuchsia 🌸

Did you know Fuchsias can flower almost all year round when they're looked after properly?

Watch as Tony prunes his son's well-loved Fuchsia and shares the simple tips to keep these beautiful plants healthy, bushy
& blooming for months to come.

💧 Apply Grow Better Rapid Soak Wetting Agent to help the potting mix retain moisture.

🌸 Feed with a high-potassium slow-release Osmocote fertiliser. One application feeds your plant for up to six months, encouraging healthy growth and plenty of flowers.

A prune and the right care go a long way. Your Fuchsia will reward you with masses of colourful blooms!

🌿 You asked, we answered!

Many of you wanted to know how to keep your Peace Lily (Spathiphyllum) looking lush and flowering, so here are our top care tips.

The three keys to a happy Peace Lily:

💚 Feed: Apply a high-potassium slow-release fertiliser, such as Osmocote, twice a year.

💧 Water: Water regularly. An easy trick? Pop your finger into the potting mix. If you can't feel moisture, neither can your plant!

☀️ Warmth & Light: Keep your Peace Lily in a warm, bright position with plenty of indirect light.

Get these three things right and you'll be rewarded with glossy, deep green foliage and beautiful white blooms throughout the year.

🌱 Give your Buxus the boost it deserves with Harry’s Buxus Food, now available at Acorn Nursery.

Hellebores are finally flowering 🌸

After a warmer-than-usual autumn, they're a little later this year but they're well worth the wait.

We're especially excited about these two stunning new pink varieties: Hellebore Elemental and Hellebore Magico. We haven't had many pink Hellebores available for a number of years, so we're absolutely loving seeing them back in stock.

Perfect for those tricky dry, shaded spots beneath trees where little else thrives, Hellebores will slowly naturalise and fill the space with beautiful winter colour, year after year.

🌹 Are you feeding your roses too early?

Timing is everything when it comes to rose care. Watch as Tony shows you the difference between a rose that's ready to be fed and one that isn't. Feeding at the right stage gives your roses the nutrients they need to produce stronger growth, healthier foliage and an abundance of beautiful blooms.
