Cyathea contaminans
blue tree fern
Description
Cyathea contaminans, a tree fern species, is a striking plant often found in humid forests and subtropical areas. It's characterized by a tall, slender trunk and a crown of large, feathery fronds. The fronds are compound and can reach considerable lengths, creating an umbrella-like canopy. This fern prefers moist, well-draining soil and a shaded location. These plants demand high humidity and protection from direct sunlight, which can scorch the fronds. Regular watering and misting are essential to keep the plant healthy. They are best grown in containers to control their environment and growing space.
