Tree fern is a genus of known for their attractive fronds and distinctive trunks. They prefer dappled shade or indirect sunlight, consistent moisture with well-draining soil, and thrive in humid environments with mild temperatures. Common challenges include sensitivity to frost, root rot from overwatering, and potential infestations of scales or mealybugs. Seasonally, tree fern requires protection from cold in winter and may need increased watering in summer's heat. Autumn is optimal for planting or transferring, while spring encourages new frond growth, necessitating careful monitoring of moisture levels.
