Australia Ferns

[kg5]

The journey back to horticulture in the last 3 years has been really big thing for me.

Want so much to stay away from the areas that I worked in.

So I started with lotus which is very rare in Australia. Then orchids of course. Tillandsia followed and again these plants are scarce in Australia.

So what was I going to do with all the bush house room that does not suit the plants I am growing and the answer is Ferns and these are very popular in Australia.

Noticed looking through the threads here on ferns that how confused people were about Australia's elkhorn ferns and the staghorn ferns. Elkhorns are weeds and staghorns are not that easy to grow.

So after searching the net I have spent $150 and have 20 large spore raising plastic containers and growing medium. 20 different ferns with 2,000 + spores of each coming. Staghorn ferns, Tree ferns, Birds nest ferns, rock ferns, under canopy ferns and so on. There is also about 12 different ferns that are native to our island to explore as well.

So much looking forward to a new challenge.
