Soft Tree Fern (Dicksonia antartica) 250mm

Botanical Name: Dicksonia antarctica Common Name: Soft tree fern Description: Dicksonia antarctica is a large, evergreen fern that can grow up to 20 meters tall in its natural habitat, but typically reaches up to 4 meters in cultivation. It has a slender trunk covered in fibrous, dark brown scales, and fronds that can reach up to 4 meters in length. The fronds are divided into many small leaflets that give them a delicate, feathery appearance. Care Instructions: Light: Dicksonia antarctica prefers partial shade to full shade. Water: Keep the soil evenly moist, especially during hot, dry weather. Provide enough water to keep the soil from drying out completely, but avoid waterlogging the roots. Fertilising: Dicksonia antarctica does not require regular fertilising, but it can benefit from a slow-release fertiliser applied in early spring.
