A native of eastern Australia, this easy-care Tree Fern (Cyathea cooperii) is a fast-growing tree in the wild, but potted specimens maintain more compact proportions. The arching, airy fronds are curled up and covered in fine hairs when young, and they are sometimes called ‘crosiers’ because they suggest the staffs used by bishops in religious rituals. These lovely plants add feathery texture and a sense of lush beauty to any setting. Common Name: Australian Tree Fern Hardiness Zone: Annual Exposure: Sun to Part Shade Mature Height: 3-5′ Planting zones: 9-11, or bring in in the winter Tree Ferns thrive in bright, indirect light, and moderate to high humidity (see below for ways to increase humidity around your plant). From spring to fall, keep soil evenly moist and apply a balanced (20-20-20) houseplant fertilizer monthly; in winter, water when the top ½” of the potting mix is dry. Humidity: Most houseplants are native to tropical or subtropical regions of the world, where relative humidity is typically very high. They suffer in the dry air produced by furnaces and woodstoves. The best way to increase the humidity around your plants is to run a humidifier nearby. You can also set plants in trays filled with pebbles or gravel. Add water to a level just below the tops of the pebbles (if the potting mix in the pots comes in contact with the water, the mix will draw water into the pot, which will cause the mix to become saturated, eventually leading to rot). Refill trays frequently to replace water lost through evaporation.
