Dicksonia antartica I like the article

Temperatures Dicksonia antarticaPosizione mezza ombra
With a particularly windy climate we suggest securing young trees to long solid stakes, to avoid that the wind could bare young and not very developed roots; specimens which are only a few years old might fear intense cold and wind. We suggest locating this plant in a partially shady place, where it is exposed to direct sunlight during the coolest hours of the day.Let's grow the The Dicksonia antartica In a cold green house or in the house, as they fear frost; we can move them outside in late spring, with minimum temperatures above zero.

Feed Dicksonia antartica
Tree fertilization should be done at the beginning of the spring or of autumn, using humus or mature manure; this should be done by mixing a few buckets of fertilizer to the ground, around the trunk of the tree, every 2-3 years or when the tree implanted.

Care Dicksonia antartica
These plants have a sapling deportment, with a short stem with a small roundish crown. The Dicksonia antartica develops like a fern. The Dicksonia antartica Is medium in size; in spring, summer, autumn, winter it assumes a green colouring. These are evergreen plants, which means they keep their leaves year round.

Irrigation Dicksonia antarticaTenere Umido
The Dicksonia antartica needs to be watered quite frequently, every 2-3 weeks ; if there are abundant rains we can diminish watering, which should be done only when the soil is dry. The suggested quantity is 2-3 buckets of water . We advise watering the young specimens, or the recently sheltered ones; the adult specimens usually are satisfied with rain water.

Adversity Dicksonia antartica
Generally during this time of year we suggest a pre-emptive treatment with wide range insecticide and with a systemic fungicide, to prevent the attack from part of the aphids and the development of fungus diseases, often favoured by a mild and damp climate.

Substrate Dicksonia antartica
We suggest a pretty rich, quite soft, but not too drained, growing substratum.
