I bought a few small cyathea lepifera,about 18mths ago.They are growing fairly quickly,on par with similar size c.cooperi,I would say.I am really looking forward to seeing them,form a trunk.There's not much information around.Is anyone ...

I thought I would do a update on my 3ft C Medullarsi I purchased at the start of the year.
It as started to get its roots in to the soil and pushing out fronds.
Hopefully more fronds this year.

I was wondering if anyone knows how best to look after C Cunninghamii ? I have grown C Cunninghamii before but have always lost them in winter even when kept frost free and well watered.

Just took delivery of three small C cooperi today from Shady plants, they where really good quality and well packed for the delivery. Really impressed with the plants.
Just potted them up.

I have a 2ft trunk dealbata and a dealbata with a trunk that is about 2inches. I have been reading that occasionally you can get a very rare creeping rhizome form, my small C Dealbatas crown grows horizontally every year which leads me the think that I have got a creeping form :D as well as the norm...

Today I checked on some of my tree ferns, so far I have binned three due to this winter. Today I noticed that one of my 1ft trunked Medullaris has died so I pulled all the dead croziers out of the crown to see that the central core had started to rot.
What a waste of a tree fern.

I would like to make my fern a bit lighter than it is now. I know air layering will not work (or will it?) So I decided to make the rootball 25% smaller. Can this treatment kill the plant?

I have been checking on my Cyathea (small cooperi and a larger 10" trunked Medularis) and to my surprise they are very slowly STILL putting out fronds. :shock: :shock: It has to be said, this is in my heated polyhouse, but I'm talking ...

Hi have 3 very small cyathea cooperi which were in the conservatory.However I noticed that the leaves were turning brown and a bit crispy even though the soil is moist, not wet. I sprayed the leaves but that was not helping so am now ...

Simon has some in his sale for just over £20 with a 5-10cm trunk, which isn't much at all. I read they are suppose to be hardy to -12C!? What do you reckon guys, is it worth a punt?

My Cyathea is currently in the garage due to the frost we had the other night. There is no light. How long can I leave it there without it suffering? I plan to bring it back out tomorrow.

I've moved my Cyathea' s into their winter residence. The Mrs isn't too happy

I bought a Cyathea Medullaris in the 50% off sale at Amulree. Reading up it seems unlikely that it will survive outside; I have ample room in the unheated conservatory over winter - even at -16C last Winter the conservatory only ...

Came across this on GOTE forum http://www.growingontheedge.net/viewtop ... 154f1b9efe

One of my Cooperi's has a slight wobble so I might give it a go

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...
