New Zealand Tree Fern Fiber – Premium Natural Substrate

New Zealand Tree Fern Fiber is a natural, sustainably harvested substrate in which indoor plants truly thrive. Sourced from the trunks of native tree ferns in New Zealand, this unique material is prized for its soft, fibrous and spongy structure, offering an exceptional balance of moisture retention, aeration, and long-lasting stability.

Thanks to its large surface area and natural capillary action, tree fern fiber absorbs and distributes moisture evenly while still allowing air to circulate freely around the roots. This prevents waterlogging and creates ideal conditions for strong, healthy root development.

Ideal for Aroids, Epiphytes & Tropical Plants

Tree fern fiber is an excellent standalone substrate or additive in custom plant mixes, especially for aroids and epiphytes. When blended with bark, perlite, worm castings or other components, it improves both structure and water retention, closely mimicking the natural forest floor conditions that many tropical plants prefer.

Suitable for:

Anthurium, Philodendron, Monstera, Alocasia, Pothos, Syngonium, Hoya, Begonia, Orchids, Ferns, Mosses, and many other tropical houseplants.

Terrariums, Vivariums & Moss Poles

This versatile substrate is also ideal for creating naturalistic jungle environments in tropical and sub-tropical terrariums and vivariums. It supports climbing plants, vines, epiphytes and moss, making it perfect for:

• Terrariums & vivariums
• Moss poles & climbing supports
• Green walls
• Decorative top layers or mulch

Key Features

• Soft, fibrous structure allowing roots to penetrate freely without compaction
• Excellent drainage and superior root aeration
• Exceptional moisture retention without waterlogging
• Encourages healthy, downward, non-circling root growth
• Naturally antibacterial properties → very slow decomposition
• Long-lasting and low-maintenance potting medium

Usage Recommendations

• Use on its own for epiphytes such as orchids and aroids (especially for propagation and germination)
• Blend into aroid mixes to increase porosity and airflow
• Fill moss poles for natural climbing support
• Use as a mulch or decorative top layer in terrariums
