Cyathea contaminans
mountain tree fern seeds

Cyathea contaminans, the mountain tree fern comes from Southeast Asia. It grows in mountain rain forests up to 2000 m. The mountain tree fern is fast growing and can grow up to 20 m high. The stems of the fronds have a blue shimmer.

Sow the fern spores on the peat pellets.

Then put the plastic pot in a zip-lock bag - with a pot size of 6 cm , a zip-lock bag of size 12 x 17 cm is recommended . Fill in the zip-lock bag as much tap water with a few drops of universal fertilizer, so that after the absorption of the substrate a few mm of water remain on the bottom.

Location: on the windowsill or in a small greenhouse in partial shade, daytime temperatures at about 77 F, somewhat lower at night at 68-72 F. The resulting micro-climate provides ideal conditions for germination.

Soon you will see a fine green layer on the surface. From the prothallia the small fern plants will develop with high humidity.
