Is the Tree Maidenhair Fern suitable for beginners?

☀️ Light

☀️☀️▫️ (Medium)

The Didymochlaena truncatula enjoys bright, indirect light. It’s crucial to keep it away from direct sunlight to protect its delicate fronds from scorching. A spot near a window with a sheer curtain is ideal.

💧 Water

💧💧▫️ (Medium)

Keep the soil consistently moist, but be careful not to waterlog it. During winter, reduce watering slightly, but never let the soil dry out completely.

🌡️ Temperature

🌡️🌡️▫️ (Average)

This fern thrives in temperatures between 18-26°C (65-79°F). Avoid placing it near draughty areas or direct heat sources.

💦 Humidity

💦💦💦 (High)

High humidity levels are a must. This makes it perfect for terrariums or bathrooms. If those aren’t options, regular misting will help meet its humidity needs.

🪴 Repotting

Repot your Tree Maidenhair Fern every couple of years or when you see it outgrowing its pot. Use a well-draining, moisture-retentive potting mix to encourage healthy growth.

🐾 Pet Friendliness

This plant is pet-friendly, making it a worry-free choice for households with furry friends.

🏠 Recommended Locations at Home

Ideal locations include well-lit bathrooms, kitchens, or any room with a humidifier. Its need for indirect light and high humidity makes it very adaptable to parts of your home that meet these conditions.

🌿 Air Purifying

The Tree Maidenhair Fern is known for its air-purifying qualities, making it not just a beautiful, but also a beneficial addition to your indoor space.

✨ Other Plant Features

    Great website and very communicative with delivery updates. Minor issue with the interface for the aroid plants bundle: I was unable to select both the base and extension pole, so had to add the latter separately.

    Really lovely selection of plants photographed beautifully. I had a question before placing my order and used the online contact form. Craig couldn’t have been more helpful with a super quick response which resolved my query completely. My order was delivered on time and the plants and accessories were wrapped so beautifully with thoughtful little extras which made opening everything really special. I even got a ‘wee gift’ with my order and although I was aware from the website that one would be included with my order, it was just another example of a company who really wants to connect with the customers, even though there must be a financial commitment. I found the website full of useful articles and being able to access specific care guides for my purchases has been extremely useful.

    The plants are well taken care of and from the few times I’ve bought from them never had any issues with the plants. 10/10 care would definitely recommend buying either only or in person.
