Cyathea erinacea
Tree fern
Description
Cyathea erinacea is a striking tree fern distinguished by its unique texture and growth habit. The trunk is often covered in a dense, fibrous mass, giving it a shaggy appearance. The fronds are large and divided, forming a lush canopy that enhances its aesthetic appeal. The plant is found naturally in various humid locations. Cyathea erinacea thrives in moist, well-draining soil and prefers partial shade, replicating its natural environment. To ensure good health, consistent moisture is key, and the plant needs protection from strong winds and direct sunlight. Propagating the plant is most successfully achieved through spores. Its unique texture and form add a distinctive touch to any garden setting, especially within tropical and subtropical environments.
