Native to tropical regions, particularly New Caledonia, where it naturally grows in rainforest understoreys, thriving in humid, shaded environments. | |
Leaf information: | Arching, feathery fronds |
Preferred Soil: | Prefers moist, rich, and well-drained soils, with a preference for slightly acidic to neutral conditions. It does best with regular moisture but avoids waterlogged conditions. |
With lush, fern-like fronds, this plant brings a graceful, tropical touch to any garden. Its compact size makes it ideal for smaller spaces or as an indoor feature, adding greenery and elegance without overwhelming the space. This hardy fern is relatively low-maintenance and thrives in shaded areas, making it perfect for creating a rainforest vibe in challenging low-light spots.
Care Considerations: | Requires moderate care and prefers consistently moist soil in humid conditions. Regular watering is essential, especially in warmer months, to prevent the soil from drying out. A thick layer of organic mulch helps maintain soil moisture and keeps the roots cool. Fertilise sparingly with a balanced, slow-release fertiliser during the growing season. Pruning is minimal—only remove any old or yellowing fronds to keep it looking fresh. |
