Cyathea vaupelii
tree fern seeds

Cyathea vaupelii, a tree fern from the rainforests in Fiji and Samoa between 1000 and 1300 m. It forms a thin trunk up to 3 or 4 m high. The black petioles are covered with large, reddish-brown scales

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.

price is for approximately 50 seeds
