I am thinking about buying a Medularis that will come in a 10litre pot. I have a few spare 40litre pots, would it be ok to put it straight into one of these? And how long would it take to fill this container usually? I will be putting it in an unheated room of my house during winter which stays abov...

My Medularis should arrive some time this week. It will be potted up and therefore I was hoping someone could advise the best mix of compost please?

I have 3 Cyathea's (1Brownii, 2 Cooperi) & I'm toying with the idea of planting them into the ground then digging them back up just before the frosts return so I can safely over winter them. How would they handle the root ...

I managed to pick up one of my must have plants this year this weekend, along with a few other bits from Amulree :D Medularis fronded and fully rooted approx 15cm trunk, 4ft fronds, coke can for scale: medularis.jpg Begonia Luxurians: luxurians.jpg Musa Mekong Giant: mekong.jpg Arisaema Utile: utile...

emerging already. Must be the mild spring we've had. I've beeen digging like mad over the last week as the weeds have taken over due to neglect. Lots of new plants showing, hardy orchids, Cardiocrinum, Rheums, Rodgersia, Jubaea and the first new leaves of Musa are just opening. Don't you just love s...

I own a cyathea australis,currently in a greenhouse, but i would really love to plant it out this spring.What is your experience with these?I know what Internet is saying about it's hardiness,but would love to hear from people ...

I am really liking this tree fern, for its slender trunk it looks fantastic, ok not as hard as the Antarctica but, with some protection i think it will be ok. Is anybody growing one? does anybody have a picture to post of theirs. And where sells them for a good price? Thank you very much in advance....

From trawling the web this treefern seems do-able in the uk, much more than Cooperi or Medullaris for example,yet I've never seen one for sale Any reason for this? The following website is typical of discriptions http://www.angelfire.com/bc/eucalyptus/ ... regei.html

Do cyathea`s need any light through the winter? I have two small Australis and one small Cooperi. The Cooperi is not a problem as it`s tiny so can go in the conservatory. The Australis are in much larger pots and will go either ...

I am no Cyathea expert.... is this correct what I read on a website ? Because we where one of the first who imported all kinds of Cyathea species, we have a good name and expertise in these plants. As we still get many requests ...

Hi, I recently picked up a small (couple of inch trunk) cyathea australis on ebay. On delivery its pot had fallen onto it`s side in the box and as a result the fern does not stand straight in the pot and will not hold itself, maybe roots were slightly ...

I have always fancied getting a small one to grow on but understand they need good conditions and protection from even slight winter cold. Is anyone keeping/growing these and if so how please?

I never did post photos of the Cyathea Cunninghamii that I grew from spores bought from Chiltern seeds. They survived winter 2009/2010 and I looked this morning, the central croziers still seem to be intact but the snow flattened the fronds ...

Eyup.
Look at my new baby a DPD man just brought. Cyathea brownii it's called. To be honest I expected a small plant.Well, l I've been pleasantly surprised

hi guys as some of you know i picked this Cyathea up for £20 a few weeks ago. It has a twin trunk. The problem is when the wind blows etc the fronds off each trunk tend to rub against the other, the result being that a lot of the "leaflets" ...
