Pteridobase transforms your horticultural records into shared resources for cultivation and conservation.

The Exotic Fern Group invites you to join a pioneering movement in collective stewardship, bridging the gap between private expertise and botanical science. By fostering a collaborative network of growers, we transform individual passion into a powerful conservation resource, ensuring that rare species and specialised husbandry knowledge flourish for future generations.

Our Pteridobase platform empowers members to record detailed horticultural notes, propagation successes, and vital accession data within a structured, professional framework. This free resource synchronises insights from dedicated enthusiasts and global botanic gardens alike, inviting you to contribute your unique findings to a living archive of ethical, long-term plant cultivation.
