If you’re looking for an elegant and verdant focal point for your home, growing a tree fern indoors may be just the solution. These lush, prehistoric beauties bring a touch of New Zealand’s temperate forests straight to your living room, offering architectural grace with their feathered fronds and sculptural trunks. While tree ferns are commonly associated with outdoor landscapes, they can thrive indoors with the right conditions and a little know-how.

Asplenium bulbiferum, commonly known as the Hen and Chicken Fern or Pikopiko Fern, is a popular NZ native prized for its lush, arching fronds and ability to produce baby ferns (plantlets) along the leaf edges. Ideal for shaded gardens, underplanting, or pots, it thrives in moist, well-drained soil with protection from direct sun and wind.

Using tree fertiliser results in plants having better quality foliage, more profuse flowering, stronger stems, and a much healthier and brighter looking plant. The Plant Company’s Tree (and Shrub) Fertiliser has been specifically blended to give 12-months of continuous nutrition and give the plants an initial boost with all right nutrients.
