Leatherleaf (Arachniodes)
Leatherleaf Fern, (otherwise known as Baker Fern - real name Arachniodes), is a member of the Dryopteridaceae family. Leatherleaf is a dark green glossy fern with triangular fronds and is commonly used in floristry as a foundation for floral bouquets and flower arrangements.
All leatherleaf fronds contain little round reproductive clusters called 'soris' on the underside of the leaves - commonly mistaken for insect eggs!
Leatherleaf is available on the wholesale flower markets all year round and the majority is imported from South America. There are three sizes usually available: Large, (50cm tall), Medium, (40cm tall), and Small, (30cm tall). The best quality leatherleaf these days is vac packed. There is usually around 20 stems of leatherleaf per bunch.
Leatherleaf is a florists favourite and is commonly used in bouquets, arrangements and wedding flowers as general greenery.

To get the best from your wholesale cut leatherleaf please read the care instructions below carefully:
- Cut the stems at a 45 degree angle with a sharp knife.
- Fill sterilised buckets with warm water and add flower food.
- Place the leatherleaf in the buckets.
- Leave over night to condition before using.
Never leave cut foliage in direct sun light, near a radiator, in a draft or near fruit. (The gas used to ripen fruit will harm some foliages). Keep the leatherleaf in a cool place and always keep out of the way of children.
