TREE FERN Cyathea Longipes Hardy Perennial Shade Woodland, 20 Spores Seeds

Description

Tree Fern
A medium-sized tree fern with a spreading crown with long flat leaves, spiny petioles that are covered in a showy orange tomentum!
Species of Alsophila have a treelike growth habit, with an erect trunk that rarely branches, or sometimes a more shrub-like habit.
Alsophila is a genus of tree ferns in subgenus Cyathea of the genus Cyathea. Alsophila is now separated from the other genera in the family. The scales on the stalks (petioles) provide a distinction. Alsophila has scales with distinct margins, unlike Sphaeropteris, and with an apical hair or spine (seta), unlike Cyathea. The ornamentation of the spores also distinguishes Alsophila and Cyathea.

Germination
It is important to sterilize the soil mix with boiling water before planting. Use a pot with holes so water can drain. When cool, sow spores on the surface of the mix. Watering should be done from the base only (from a bottom tray), as watering from the surface will bury the seeds and they cannot grow. Cover the pot with clear plastic, and keep in a well lit location as light is required for germination. Do not place in direct sun. The ferns can take weeks or months to germinate.

You can rest assured you will receive seeds that are true to what you ordered. Visit our store and see all of the unique seeds we offer!
Due to seed inventory shortages, and increased demand, shop early for best selection! Once sold out, we will no longer have seeds for this growing season. Orders are reserved when placed!
Ornamental use only. Do not eat any of our seeds, or the plants or parts that they produce! Due to the fact that about 80% of all plant species are not edible to humans and/or animals (contain toxins/poisons of some kind) these are likely to be poisonous.
Shipping
Combined flat-rate shipping, as many items as you would like, or multiples of the same item! The cart will combine shipping for you.
International shipping: All countries outside of Canada require a seed inspection and a phytosanitary certificate, which is included in the cost of shipping. For USA orders we use this paperwork to get your order over the border (you will not see the certificate as it is taken at the border). Outside of North America, you will see the certificate arrive with your order. Though these certificates are costly, our customers tell us that they appreciate the option to order from us.
During the check-out process, please be sure to check that your shipping address is up to date so that you will receive your seeds without delay.
