- Botanical Name: Didymochlaena truncatula
-
Common Name(s): Mahogany Maidenhair, Tree Maidenhair
- Description: Native to tropical South America, South Africa, and south east Asia, this unique fern is the only species in its genus and family. The Mahogany fern is named for its deep, wood brown that appears for its first growth before maturing to a woody green. Full maturity sees this fern growing up to 3x3 feet. Its ease of growth earned its reputation as "a Maidenhair without the fuss." More tolerable to light than other ferns, a Mahogany fern is the perfect gift for the beginner houseplant owner.
- Repotting of Mahogany Fern needs to be done when the roots begin to grow from the bottom of the container. Do not increase the pot size by more than one or two sizes. Pot this fern in soil-based potting soil, which retains moisture and is nutrient rich. Regular pruning of dead or drying fronds can be done anytime of the year. Temperatures below 45 degrees F can be deadly for this plant. If you grow Mahogany Fern outdoors for the summer, bring it indoors well before nighttime temperatures reach 50 F.
