Brasiliense has a trunk-like stem and its new growth is a striking pink-red colour. As the fronds mature it turns to dark green. Evergreen and frost-tender. Perfect for a shaded garden. Water well but never allow the pot to stand in water. A good idea is to keep the ferns in pots or containers and place these on a tray of pebbles. Feed with a fertiliser high in Nitrogen to encourage lush foliage.
