1000 x Cyathea Brownii Spores (extremely tiny, dust like)

Cyathea Brownii, or the Brown Tree Fern, is a striking and majestic fern known for its impressive, tall stature and intricate fronds. Its a unique choice for adding a touch of tropical elegance to gardens or indoor spaces.

Unique Qualities:

• Tall and Majestic: Features a towering trunk and large, feathery fronds.
• Tropical Elegance: Adds an exotic and lush appearance to any setting.
• Rare Fern: Offers a distinctive and less common option for collectors.
• Versatile: Suitable for both indoor environments and sheltered outdoor areas.

Growing Season: Sow Cyathea Brownii spores in a warm, humid environment. The most common way and most succesful way to grow them is by sterlising peat moss, then soaking it and placing it an a see-throigh container. Then dusting the spores onto the surface, adding additional moisture if needed (unlikely if you presoaked the peat well) and then sealing the container. The container should then be kept in a place witha warm medium to bright indirect light for several months. The spores will germinate and slowly develop through the initial gametophyte (moss-like) phase before produing tiny ferns. It is a long process but also extremely rewarding for the patient. Well lit terrariums can house this entire processwith some minor adjustments and additonal monitoring. If you aren't consistent in your monitoring and care, you can lose months of work to one lazy week or one poorly thought decision

Time to Germinate: Spores generally take several weeks to months to germinate. The ferns will develop slowly over several years, eventually reaching their full size. Proper care and patience are key to growing these magnificent ferns.

Adult tree ferns are tough plants that require very little attention. Especially if you have a humid climate with decent rain during summer. But also semi shaded gardens provide the kind of enviroment where the fern can thrive without additional care.
