Alsophila encompasses a group of tree ferns notable for their tall, slender trunks topped with a crown of large, arching fronds that create a distinctive umbrella-like canopy. The fronds are bi-pinnate, contributing to a lush, dense appearance. These ferns thrive in moist, shaded forest environments where the damp, cool conditions support their growth and reproductive cycle using spores.
Water:
Native to humid, tropical regions, alsophila thrives in high humidity and has moderate drought tolerance. Watering should occur every 2-3 weeks to maintain moisture. Typically grown outdoors, consistent soil moisture is crucial for optimal health, influenced by its natural water availability.
