- Tree Ferns are one of those plants that instantly make a garden feel more established and dramatic. Over time, they form a thick, tree-like trunk topped with large, arching fronds that create a lush, tropical look. The mature plants are truly impressive and can bring a real sense of structure and atmosphere to shaded areas of the garden.
- They work especially well in woodland-style planting, exotic garden schemes or near ponds and water features, where their soft, feathery foliage can really stand out. Although slow growing, they’re well worth the wait and become more striking with age.
- Supplied in a growing pot, your plant is ready to settle into its new home. Please note, the photos show mature specimens, and due to their naturally slow-growing habit, it can take many years to reach full size.
- Please note: the decorative pot shown in the images is for illustration purposes only and is not included with the plant.

Watering Keep the compost lightly and evenly moist, watering when the surface just begins to dry. Avoid both prolonged dryness and waterlogged roots, and let excess water drain freely after each watering. Water a little less in winter, while maintaining reasonable humidity around the foliage.
Best Growing Conditions Grow in bright, indirect light and protection from harsh direct sun, ideally at around 18-26°C, away from cold draughts and sudden temperature changes. Use a good-quality, well-drained houseplant compost and make sure excess water can drain freely from the pot. Most houseplants perform best with moderate humidity and should be kept away from strong radiator heat.
