Signs of Cold Exposure in Australian tree fern

Symptoms

Australian tree fern tolerates cold well and flourishes when temperatures exceed 60℉. In winter, maintain temperatures above 50℉. If temperatures drop below 40℉, while no immediate winter changes may be apparent, spring may see reduced or absent new growth.

Solutions

In spring, remove any sections that have not produced new shoots.

Signs of Heat Stress in Australian tree fern

Symptoms

In summer, Australian tree fern should be kept below 75℉. When temperatures surpass 90℉, the plant's foliage may lighten, curl, and become more prone to sun damage.

Solutions

Remove any sun-damaged or desiccated portions. Relocate the plant to an area offering protection from intense midday and afternoon sun, or use a shade cloth. Water the plant in the morning and evening to maintain soil moisture.
