LIVE PLANT 3ft Japanese fern tree Filicium decipiens Fern-leaf Tree Kiora Payung

Description: The plant I ship is 2-3ft tall. Last photos are of one of actual plants The Japanese fern tree has a misleading name because it is not from Japan nor a true fern. It is a smaller tropical tree that grows a tight, dense round crown of graceful fern-like leaves on a straight trunk. The Japanese fern tree grows best in tropical conditions because of its high need for direct sunlight, high humidity, and warmth. It requires full sun but partial shade when planted in hot, dry climates and it needs acidic, well-draining soil. This tree cannot withstand temperatures that dip below 50 or 55 degrees Fahrenheit but it has deep roots that can survive tropical storms and hurricanes Japanese Fern Tree CareHere are the main care requirements for growing a Japanese fern tree. Choose a very sunny spot for a Japanese fern tree but a partially shaded area if planted in hot, dry climates.Place the tree far enough away (at least 10 feet) from any existing structures or other trees so its widely expanding globed crown has room to fully develop.Plant in alkaline, very well-draining soil.Water young trees well, reduce watering as the trees mature.Use only a superior-quality fertilizer for this particular tree.Clean away any leaves the tree sheds as it ages. LightThe Japanese fern tree prefers lots of direct sunlight and you should aim to plant it in a place that will get at least eight hours of sun a day (or more). If you live in an especially hot or dry climate, the plant can withstand partially shaded spots, especially during the hotter afternoon hours. SoilFor your Japanese fern tree to thrive, plant it in well-draining soil. A general potting mixture can usually suffice if grown in a pot, but if outdoors, you should make sure your soil is strongly alkaline. You should do your best to avoid planting the tree in a spot that has arid or especially wet soil. WaterFor best results, water your fern tree regularly, but make sure not to soak it. Giving the tree a few days for its soil to dry out before you water it again is a good idea. This tree becomes more drought-tolerant as it matures. Temperature and HumidityThe Japanese fern tree prefers warm, tropical temperatures and does not tolerate frost. Ensure that the tree is not exposed to temperatures below 50 to 55 degrees Fahrenheit or it will not thrive. It also loves humidity, so your tree will benefit from a climate that already boasts above-average humidity levels. FertilizerJapanese fern trees should be fertilized three times a year in the fall, spring, and summer with a top-quality fertilizer with slow time release. If left unfertilized the tree will grow slower. When feeding your tree, make sure to opt for a high-quality fertilizer blend you trust—the heavy salts found in some cheaper blends can damage the tree's roots. PruningThe crown naturally grows into a globe shape and does not need pruning. It is fine to remove lower branches to neaten it up and expose more of the trunk. However, if you do not want to clean up volunteer seedlings, you can deadhead the tree's blooms (though they are barely visible) so it does not self-seed when it fruits. Fertilizer that I include as an option is an excellent choice for professional growers or nurseries if you grow plant in a pot. I personally use it for all my plants. It has polymer coating to allow slow release during 8-9 months evenly. You don't have to worry about repotting the plant for about 1 year or worry about burning plant with your regular over the counter fertilizer. You need about 3-4oz per 3 gal pot or 4-5oz per 5 gal pot.
