Thank you very much. This really is the best resource I have seen on RUclips. I live in the UK and purchased a five footer in Jan 2023. It is nowuncurling the coiled Crozier's very slowly. They are beautiful with brown silky hair. Who needs Pant Thank you for posting such a comprehensive video. A great pleasure to watch.
Thanks Matthew, Robyn is very generous with here time and has years of experience. Hoping to do another tree fern video soon looking at a few of the lesser known species.
Thank you this has helped me, I've been watering the crown thinking it was correct, as in Nature but I've used shower setting on my hose sprayer. So I will change it to mist setting.
The problem with shower settings is they can be harsh, it depends on the hose nozzel and they are very different from hose to hose.. We use a watering wand and this is sort of a shower however is very sort and, the wand is specifically designed to be a very soft rain like flow. In fact we use this on every plant in the garden....
Hi. Thank you for posting this. Even though I've been growing DA's in the UK since 2008, there always new things to learn and your video has done this. It's interesting to see a cross section of a tree fern to understand the plant make up but have you ever seen a length ways cross section from the roots to the tip of the fronds !!. I would like to see an image to again try to understand these plants further.
@@johnnyAGardening It’s a great thing to share plant knowledge with others.I do it every chance I get with growing and propagating succulents for the last ten years plus.
Lovely video! I recently bought a small Dicksonia fibrosa in Hungary! I just wanted to ask, if the keeping of this species is similar or the same as for the antarctica? Thank you!
Hello Marcel. Yes , very similar growing conditions to Dicksonia antarctica. That one is from New Zealand, grows in light shade commonly called the Whekī ponga or Golden ponga. It holds it old foliage hanging down like a skirt. and has a thicker trunk than antarctica. Trunk is a soft fibrous rusty brown colour when mature. Young plants may need to overwintered indoors or covered depending on where in Hungary you are living.
@johnnyAGardening Thank you very much for the answer! I know I could've looked it up myself, and I did indeed try, but found rather conflicting informations on the keep of them :(
Awesome video! Still a little confusedI about replanting a beautiful Tasmanian Tree Fern here in Northern California. I need to replant into a smaller container that will be 2'x2'x3'. Is it possible to just carefully lift it into the smaller container or do I have to cut the bottom off and start over? Thank you!
Yes you can lift it roots and all. We guess its in a container already, so it should easy, however it may be heavy, so have some willing lifters around if needed. If its in the ground, then you need to take as big a rootball as possible if you don't want to shorten the trunk. Give some TLC after transplanting.
@@johnnyAGardening Thank you for the response! Is it OK to loosen the dirt away from the roots and maybe trim and cut away some of those tiny roots in order to make the transplanting easier? I don't want to shorten the trunk. It is going from a very large container it used to share with a large hydrangea into a pot half the size it's in now. Thank you in advance!
I think the smaller pot size could be a problem, usually looking for pots at least 1m (3ft) in diameter. These ferns get top heavy so small pots can be an issue with that as well in small pots. How tall is the fern as present? I will run this past Robyn once we know the height of the fern also trunk size if possible.@@D.E.-eq2qw
@@johnnyAGardening My fern has been in a pot size of 2 feet depth, by 2 feet width and 5 feet long. But, it shared this pot with a large Hydrangea plant that was removed a couple months ago. Now I want to put it in a pot size 2' x 2' x 3'. The trunk size is two feet from soil and the fern is 6' from soil. The fern itself is very sturdy in its current container. I have clay soil on my property so I do not think the fern would do well in clay soil. I wish there was a way to add photos here. I can get a few strong guys here to replant it if you think that's a good option? I love this fern and appreciate your knowledge and help. TY!
I wonder if using dynamic lifter should also apply when growing dicksonia in pots? I've been using liquid fertilizer and osmocote and some of the fronds are burnt.
Hard to tell without seeing the plant. Are you using the liquid on the fronds? Probably not spray the fronds with fertilizer. Also maybe cut back on the fertilizer. Is the plant getting too much sun ?
Hola. Soy de México. Tenía un helecho arborescente. Murieron dos frondes y luego nacieron 3. De estas últimas tres solo se desenvolvio una y 2 a medias. Murieron. Sería exceso de riego... Tenía un humidificador porque lo tengo en una recamara qué da a una ventana ahí y tenía una cortina blanca qué filtraba la luz... De pronto se empezo a. Marchitar... Que sería. Exceso de riego. La verdad el. Tronco no lo regaba. Todo era el. Sustrato cada 4 días...
Hard to tell without seeing the fronds. it could be sun burn or lack of water, however new fronds turning black is not usually a good sign.If they are still growing they should be OK, if they stop growing, then its a problem. If they stop youy need to wait to see if any more new fronds follow up. Give it some shade and some water - Time will tell.
Great video. One of the best I’ve seen so far for this type of tree fern. Well done.

Wow so helpful and insightful.Thank you both so much.I can’t wait to try grow my first one soon.
Thanks for that, Robyn has been growing these for many years and is always willing to share her knowledge.

Thanks for watching and glad you found the video useful. A few more videos on tree ferns late this yearvor next year.
Thank for your support.

Olá amigo como faço para conseguir esporos da Dicksonia Antártica?eu moro no Brasil,podemos trocar por Dicksonia sellowiana.
I'm moving and want to take my fern tree that is three metres high with me. Are they heavy for instance one that is a metre high
About 70kg for each metre of trunk Can be heavier or lighter depending on the individual fern.
I wonder if using dynamic lifter should also apply when growing dicksonia in pots? I've been using liquid fertilizer and osmocote and some of the fronds are burnt.

Also maybe cut back on the fertilizer. Is the plant getting too much sun ?
@@johnnyAGardening Thanks Johnny I have moved the plant into shade and I will take your advice and cut back on the fertilizer
@@ikemi1 Let us know how it goes.

I know tree ferns prefer shaded areas outdoors and away from direct sunlight, but can they also live in low-medium light indoors?
