Dicksonia Antarctica- Tasmanian Tree Fern (90cm)

Dicksonia antarctica, commonly known as the Tasmanian Tree Fern or Soft Tree Fern. This plant is admired for its elegant, arching fronds and its ability to bring a lush, forest-like atmosphere to indoor spaces. Dicksonia antarctica is a type of tree fern with large, feathery fronds that can spread out in a graceful, umbrella-like shape. The fronds are deep green and can grow up to several feet long, giving the plant a lush, tropical look. Over time, it develops a thick, trunk-like structure made up of old frond bases, which adds to its tree-like appearance.

This fern can grow slowly to reach a height of 10-15 feet (3-4.5 meters) or more outdoors. However, when grown indoors, its size is more manageable, making it suitable for spacious areas where it can be showcased.

Plant Care Guide:

• Light: Dicksonia antarctica prefers bright, indirect light. It can tolerate partial shade but needs sufficient light to thrive. Direct sunlight can scorch its delicate fronds, so it’s best to place the fern near a window with filtered light or in a bright room away from direct sun.

• Water: Keep the soil consistently moist, but avoid waterlogging. Water the plant regularly, ensuring the soil is damp but not soggy. The trunk should also be kept moist, as this helps the plant absorb water. In hot and dry conditions, misting the fronds and trunk can help maintain adequate moisture levels.

• Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix rich in organic matter. A mix of peat, perlite, and compost works well, providing the right balance of moisture retention and aeration. The soil should be slightly acidic to neutral in pH.

• Fertilizer: Feed Dicksonia antarctica with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half strength every two to four weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce feeding in the fall and winter when growth slows. Avoid over-fertilizing, which can harm the plant's roots.

• Pruning: Remove any dead or yellowing fronds to maintain the plant’s appearance and encourage healthy new growth. Pruning helps to direct the plant's energy towards producing new fronds and developing its trunk.
