BRAZILIAN TREE FERN/ SILVER LADY FERN:

Silver Lady Fern also known as Blechnum brasiliense. It is also known as Dwarf tree fern. The spread of the fern can be 1m and can reach to a height of 1.5m.

The fern grown in the form of rosettes, ends of the leaflets on a frond are crinkled and long. It is a fast-growing fern and are best grown as Ground Cover, in indoor, patios, under trees.

 

HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR FERNS:

SOIL:

  • Provide a loose, a well-draining soil mixture, not much. Since they prefer organic content in the soil such as peat, coconut peat, keeping a balanced acidic soil (pH 6-6.5) is benefitting to the plant growth.
  • Peat moss can be a great alternative for soil which will maintain a high humid condition.
  • Avoid dry soil. More prolonged period of dry soil will turn the fronds yellow and your plant might even die. These are intolerant to dry soil.

LIGHT:

  • These plant needs a bright indirect light so keep near a window where direct sunlight does not fall. Do not let direct sunlight touch the foliage, the leaves may become scorched.
  • An ideal location will be where filtered sunlight or partial shade is available.

WATERING:

  • They prefer moist soil (not wet). make sure the soil is Damp. To maintain the water content or moisture in the soil, use pebble tray OR keep a sprayer handy.
  • Drooping of leaves is possible if the plant is underwatered or overwatered. Reduce watering during winters.

PRUNING:

  • Pruning is not required much. Do remove the yellow and brown fronds.

FERTILIZING:

  • Ferns are not a fan of fertilizers. They hate the inorganic build-up on the topsoil.
  • Fertilize during the growing season (April-September), preferably liquid fertilizer of half the strength. Avoid bringing the fertilizer in contact with the fronds.

REPOTTING:

  • If you have the plant for a year or so and you observe the plant is growing slow, check for its nutrient requirements or the plants need a bigger pot.

 

HOW TO PROPAGATE YOUR FERNS:

The propagation is ferns is damn easy, when grown with rhizome division. By simply snipping some fronds with rhizomes and plant in new pot.

They can also be propagated using spores, which can be tricky for the beginners.
