Tree fern panels are often used for growing orchids, mosses, and other plants on the back of an enclosure. The structure is open enough for roots to take hold, yet strong enough to stand up to full coverage when plants are grown in. These hold up well even in very moist environments. Tree fern panel can easily be mounted to both glass and acrylic.
How to Use It
One option is to cover the entire back of your enclosure with the tree fern panel. Then, you can cover the tree fern with any mix of plants you desire, which will grow in over time and hide the background.
Another option is to use smaller pieces of tree fern panel along with stone, driftwood, and other materials in your background. Put the tree fern panel wherever you want to mount plants in your background. This more advanced method can help you achieve a more natural look.

With native tree ferns that are only found in New Zealand, Fernwood NZ has developed a unique processing method that produces top quality products considered superior to tree fern materials found anywhere else in the world.
