Exploring Fern Options Beyond Bunnings

While bunnings tree ferns are widely searched, there are many alternative ferns available for both outdoor and indoor environments. Each offers its own beauty and gardening benefits, whether you're planting directly in the garden or potting up a dramatic houseplant collection.

Planting and Caring for Tree Ferns

Tree ferns thrive in cool, shady positions with moist, well-drained soil rich in organic matter. When planting, ensure the root ball is well-watered, and avoid full sun to prevent scorching delicate fronds. Regular mulching and feeding with slow-release fertiliser will keep your fern in peak condition. If your bunnings tree fern is being transplanted, acclimate it gradually and consider protecting the crown during frosty spells.

For potted or indoor ferns, consistent humidity is key. Misting, grouping with other plants, and keeping away from direct heat sources ensures their continued health.
