Tree ferns like the Fandia are typical of tropical and subtropical forests and reproduce via spores on the undersides of their fronds.
These ferns are known for their distinctive umbrella-like crown of large fronds and a trunk that can grow between 1 to 10 meters tall.
They are valued for their ornamental appearance and ecological role in forest habitats.
The Fandia is one of the native tree ferns of the Mascarene Islands, including Mauritius, where it contributes to local biodiversity.
Light needs:
A spot with "dappled" sunlight or bright indirect light is perfect.
Watering :
Unlike most plants, tree ferns absorb a lot of moisture through their trunk. When watering, spray the entire fibrous trunk from top to bottom, not just the soil.
