Discover what it's like to grow your own tree ferns with our cuttings box!

This box contains a Cyathea cooperi 'Highland Lace', a beautiful variety of the Australian tree fern known for its finely divided, softly hairy fronds and graceful, ornamental appearance.
Tree ferns thrive in moist, shady environments and are ideal for creating a tropical atmosphere in your garden.

Cyathea cooperi 'Highland Lace' is not fully frost-hardy and is generally best suited for regions with mild winters. Protective measures—such as covering the plant or moving it to a sheltered location during colder periods—are essential to prevent frost damage.

These tree ferns can eventually reach a height of 3 to 5 meters. Although growth is slow, with proper care and conditions, they will mature into impressive, palm-like plants.

Here are some key care tips for Cyathea cooperi 'Highland Lace':
  
Location: Place the tree fern in a shady area, sheltered from strong direct sunlight.
  
Soil: Use well-draining, humus-rich soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH.
  
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, but not soggy. Regular watering is especially important during dry periods.
  
Frost protection: Overwinter young plants indoors, or protect them outdoors with fleece and mulch when frost is expected.
  
Feeding: Apply a balanced fertilizer during the growing season to support healthy foliage.
  
Pruning: Remove dead or damaged fronds regularly to maintain a healthy plant.
  
Humidity: Tree ferns thrive in high humidity—misting regularly is recommended, especially in warm weather.
  
Repotting: Only repot when necessary, ideally in spring, using a slightly larger pot to allow for growth.
With the right care, these elegant ferns will become a stunning, tropical feature in your garden or shaded patio.
