treeferns
10:21 AM on 3 July 2008
Filed under: My garden

hi- just wondering if anyone has experience of growing treeferns inside.

i have two beautiful tree ferns- doing well under a shady tree but I am wondering if i could move them inside my house entrance. i have moved them before so thats not the issue its whether they would be ok inside.

the area is a large unheated sort of atrium- nice and cool and shady (some natural light but no direct light), obviously i would need to incorporate a drip irrigation system.

any comments would be helpful

 thanks in advance, shelley (portugal)

thanks guys- do you think if i have a good irrigation system set up that would sort out the dryness? difficult one as i would love to try it but don't want to risk if they are gonna struggle. the difficulty is its not a very light space so i think palms and similar would struggle? i would like to create something quite dramatice so if you have any other suggestions i would appreciate it. thanks again

hi guys- yes the very same- happy now in Portugal! at the mo they are under the shade of a large eriobotrya near our well- happy but not close enough to see (or hug!) every day so thought they would make an amazing feature in our entrance! probably will give it a go- am gonna try and put a gunnera in there too in a sort of artificial bog garden- but thats not a major risk if it doesnt work but the tree ferns are!
