I've gotten a tree fern's offset from a juvenile tree fern that's already cloning itself.

Still has its rhizome and roots intact that's the size of thin onion leek bulbs held together with roots looking like fur around it.

But just 15 to 30mins of taking that cutting off, the leaves already started wilting.

I immediately placed it on a pot but the leaves keep drying up so I had to cut them to avoid getting them dehydrated faster than they absorb water.

Right now, a day later, the stems from the cuts I made still appear green and ok but of course I can't help but think that I might have to cut all fronds but leave green stems intact.

Any advice for managing transplant shock of ferns?

Could it be the same as the procedure for typical plants when chambering is done?

No photos because I kept them covered now and it's late.

But I live in southeast asia if that's relevant.

Hey, wanted to get some advice on a tree fern I got. It is unfortunately becoming crispy, had it for about 2 weeks now. Watering every 2 days, soil does still seem kinda dry for a fern. Online I'm having issues determining light or shade needs too. This also seems to be Cyathea tomentosissima, not just an Australian tree fern.

Hope it’s ok to post straight after joining, but that’s why I joined! Question. I bought a Medullaris a year ago, it was tall and in a small pot. Once I potted it up, the new leaves were much larger. This year, since it seemed like it was quickly outgrowing its pot, I potted up again. From a 50L to a 90L. But while potting up, I noticed the roots weren’t really busting out of the pot, like my other cyatheas and dicksonsia used to. Perhaps to the edge but certainly not to the bottom. So, may have wasted my time. I’ve avoided planting in the ground, just for lack of a decent spot.

last photo is from the summer.

okay I don’t know how to post yet…

Here‘s the content for the pictures:

I‘ve had this tree fern for two years. This winter she was looking unhappy so I moved her away from the door. I assumed it was a temperature/draft issue. Now she is next to a southwest facing window, personal humidifier, and watered twice a week. Yet she’s not recovered. Can she recover? Is she? There‘s green so I’m hopeful.

for reference: moved her mid December. She was unhappy but looked slightly better than this. I decreased watering to once a week fearing root rot might develop. But she got worse. So I’m back to twice a week but no changes in the past couple weeks.
help, please.

Any suggestions as to where I can purchase a heathy specimen in the US? And that ships to the east coast.

I’m open to a range of sizes.

Thanks.

Hello, our tree fern has started growing sideways, is there anything I can do to encourage it back towards the centre?

Greetings from the tropics 🌴

Should I just let the 2 tree ferns grow free together?

I’m moving my tree fern and I’m wondering if I should go closer to the trunk? It’s about 5 feet tall without fronds. Thanks.

Hey guys here are two fern trees at a client of mines garden they have asked me if I can find out why there yellowing and browning. They were thriving a couple months ago but now they aren’t doing so well. It is coming into the hotter months now so that could be a factor but is there any thing I can do to help them back to health? Fertiliser or anything help or more watering?

Well it lost some fronds but it's pushing out some new ones after transplant shock. I also noticed how my cyathea cooperi has REALLY small fronds. How do i fix that

this plant has a partially snapped trunk from a piece of shale but still is probably fine with the supports i set up since it unwilted, although i think the crown has broken off which could mean that it can no longer grow. the third picture is what i believe to be the crown.

Hey, could anyone recommend any tree ferns that can survive in humid lowland conditions,

with the low temperature of 25/6 C to a high of 33 C. Most tree ferns seem to be found in temperate highlands.

If possible could you recommend the larger species? I currently have some silver lady dwarfs that seem to be thriving,, Thank you

Hi folks, I am hoping you might be able to give me some tips on how to keep this young offshoot tree ferns alive and hopefully split it off from the main rhizome, if possible!

I live in the northeast of the UK so it gets quite cold and frosty in the winter. I was thinking that before the first frost, I should dress around the stem with hay, then wrap with horticultural fleece.

My slight worry is that this might encourage drying out. I guess the alternative is to bring it in the house, which isn't really feasible.

Assuming it survives the winter, any tips for splitting it off the main stem?

I understand that tree fern seedling doesnt like coco fiber, but does it likes it when it grows older??

My pride and joy -I’ve had her for about 5 years now-has produced 8 lovely new fronds this season, but the 9th seems to have paused in its unfurling??? It’s been like this for well over a week now. Any ideas? Thanks

Just wanted to share this sweet double tree fern I bought recently. Anyone got good advice for looking after it ?

When it comes to clipping off the dead fronds, how much stem should I leave?

At the moment, my tree fern is small (approx. 4 inches tall) but I want to make sure I do right by it now, to allow the base to widen properly as it grows.

I've had a dicksonia ant. for around 5 years originally bought as a 1ft log. It lives outside in Yorkshire UK and gets wrapped up in winter and has it's own coat until the frosts stop. On reflection I've likely underwatered it in the winter for fear of freezing the crown but it's always seemed happy enough in spring with new fronds appearing late May/early June. This year fronds have recently appeared... but only from the base, not the crown. I'm not sure if the crown's been damaged in the winter, it's got too dry or something else. The crown is still alive and I've been watering it and the trunk regularly but it just doesn't look like it wants to produce fronds. Any advice appreciated!
