Discover what it's like to grow your own tree ferns with our new cutting box!
This cutting box contains Cyathea tomentosissima, a beautiful variety of the Australian tree fern known for its lush growth and impressive appearance.
 
Tree ferns thrive in moist, shady environments and are ideal for creating a tropical atmosphere in your garden.
 
Cyathea tomentosissima is not completely hardy and is generally suitable for regions with mild climates. Protective measures, such as covering the plant or moving it to a sheltered location during cold spells, may be necessary to prevent frost damage.
 
The tree ferns can reach a considerable height and usually grow to a height of 3 to 5 meters. Although growth is slow, with proper care and conditions they can reach impressive heights.
 
Here are some important care tips for Cyathea tomentosissima:
 
Location: Place the tree fern in a shady area, protected from direct sunlight.
Soil: Provide well-drained, acidic to neutral soil with the addition of organic matter.
Watering: Keep the soil moist, but not soggy. Regular watering is essential, especially during dry periods.
Protection against frost: Overwinter the cuttings indoors to prevent frost damage.
Feeding: Fertilize the tree fern during the growing season with a balanced fertilizer.
Pruning: Remove dead or damaged leaves regularly to keep the tree fern healthy.
Humidity: Tree ferns thrive in high humidity. Regular watering is essential, especially in hot weather.
Repotting: Repot the tree fern only when necessary, in the spring, and provide a slightly larger pot for growing space.
 
With proper care, these beautiful ferns will make an impressive addition to your garden landscape.
