Changes

The species offer a great variety. Those of temperate regions are mostly stout and not spiny; the tropical species are more slender and in many cases densely armed with stout spines. All species are evergreen. The culture of cyatheas is simple in warmhouses. They require an abundance of water at the roots and the trunks should be kept constantly moist. The foliage last longer if it has been inured to the sun during summer. Like all other tree ferns, cyatheas need little pot-room. They rarely produce adventitious growths along the trunk or at the base and none is proliferous. The plants are, therefore, usually propagated by spores, which germinate freely, making attractive young plants in two seasons. (Adapted from Schneider, "Book of Choice Ferns.")
