๐ค๏ธ Light
Australian Tree Ferns generally prefer bright filtered light, partial shade, or protected outdoor conditions.
Avoid suddenly exposing a nursery-grown fern to intense direct sunlight, which can scorch tender fronds.
๐ง Water & Humidity
Tree ferns appreciate consistent moisture, particularly during warm weather and active growth.
Keep the growing medium appropriately moist while maintaining adequate drainage. These tropical-looking ferns also benefit from humid conditions and protection from excessively dry environments.
