Cyathea dealbata
Silver Tree Fern
Description
Cyathea dealbata, commonly known as the Silver Fern, is a majestic tree fern native to New Zealand and a national symbol. It is characterized by its tall, erect trunk and large, frond-like leaves. The undersides of the fronds are silvery-white, creating a striking contrast to the dark green upper surfaces. As the fronds unfurl, they often display a beautiful spiral shape. This fern thrives in shaded and humid environments, making it a beautiful specimen plant for gardens or indoor settings. To cultivate Cyathea dealbata, provide a moist, well-draining soil and a sheltered location with partial shade, and protect it from frost.
