This is a very common miniature tree fern here in San Diego, CA. It must be planted in shade to semi-shade with tons of water. It grows pretty quickly as long as it gets lots of water. Photo taken February 2, 2025 at the San Diego Zoo.

It really loves more shade than sun.

I have tried them. No matter how long you've had them,one good dry out in summer and they die. Forget one time and its not forgiving-ha.

I had one for over 16 years. It was so beautiful! It died in a horrible heatwave a few years ago. 😞. It was the longest I’ve kept one alive. I killed so many by letting it dry out, so I know exactly what you’re saying.
I purchased a new one last year and I keep it constantly wet.
I’m going to post a large one that’s at the horticultural center at Lake Side botanical garden in Oakland.

They are fabulous plants and grow well here, although mine suffered a bit of sunburn a few weeks ago!
