New Zealand tree fern is one of the best substrates for indoor plants, loved for its soft, porous, and long-lasting structure. Its natural spongy texture provides exceptional moisture-holding ability, and its large surface area helps retain water far better than many other growing media.
Why Use NZ Tree Fern for Your Indoor Plants?
1. Perfect for Climbing Plants
Vining aroids are designed to climb. Using a tree fern totem allows your plant to grow the way it would in nature — anchoring aerial roots and reaching upward toward the light. This encourages bigger, healthier, and more mature foliage over time.
2. Natural, Plant-Friendly Material
Tree fern fibre closely mimics the texture of real tree bark, making it an ideal climbing surface for:
-
Philodendrons
-
Monsteras
-
Pothos
-
Syngonium
-
Hoyas
-
Anthuriums
-
Begonias
-
And many more
3. Excellent for Propagation & Air Layering
The moisture retention and aeration of NZ tree fern make it a top-tier substrate for air layering and rooting cuttings. Expect strong, healthy root strikes every time.
