This one is Todea barbara. It grows well in a pot. It’s extremely fast-growing, and as you can see is now almost hiding the pot. It looks majestic, graceful, imposing, and elegant. I suppose that’s why its common name is King Fern.

The king fern grows readily in gardens in temperate or subtropical climates. It prefers a spot in moist acidic soil in shade or dappled shade. It can grow in sunnier locations as long as it is watered often*.

Here is Adiantum formosum, in the pot to the left, and Microsorum punctatum plus a young tree fern in the one on the right.

Adiantum formosum grows best in acidic, well-drained soil and requires plenty of water and high humidity to grow at its best. It is a very attractive and vigorous fern that is tough and hardy provided it has enough moisture. It can make a dense groundcover over many metres.

Microsorum punctatum is an upright flat ‘strappy’ plant with fronds that have fully crested tops and frilly edges. A Queensland native fern, suitable for part shade to full shade. A very easy to grow and hardy ground cover, or specimen pot plant – indoors or out. Source: Bambooland)

Blechnum cartilagineum is doing well in a large pot.

(Gristle Fern is tough and adaptable fern, useful for shady spots, including in drier areas. It could provide texture and interest in an understorey role beneath tree ferns or other types of tree. Its broad fronds and reddish new growth could create an interesting focal point, and its fairly slow growth habit means it is unlikely to become dominant or invasive.
