Care and Placement
To ensure the healthy growth of Cyathea Medullaris cuttings, it’s important to create the right conditions.
- Light: Place the fern in partial shade or light shade. Direct sunlight, especially in the afternoon, can damage young fronds.
- Temperature: This tree fern thrives best in temperatures above 10°C. In colder climates, it is recommended to keep it in a greenhouse or indoors during winter.
- Soil: Use moisture-retaining, well-draining soil enriched with organic matter such as compost or leaf mold.
- Watering: Keep the soil moist but avoid waterlogging, as standing water can harm the roots. Dry conditions can be detrimental to young cuttings.
- Humidity: High humidity is ideal. Regularly mist the fronds to prevent them from drying out.
- Feeding: During the growing season (spring and summer), apply a mild fern fertilizer or organic feed once a month.
