A bush house is a structure for protecting our plants from the summer heat and depending upon how it is built ie. Materials used etc. it also can serve to protect from frost. Orignally the description came from the fact that it was built entirely from bush trees cut to suit the application, before the advent of shade cloth we used predominantly Tee Tree for the posts, bearers and the fine leaves for the actual roof and sides, this was usually (with the help of fencing wire) constructed at the end of Spring and the thickness of the branches of tea tree leaves determined the amount of protection given at the sides, and also the density of shade on the , depending on the plants being grown and their requirements.
Present modern materials ie. transluent sheeting, shade cloth,and other products make it much easier to build plant houses, but the name Bush House still persists.

USUALLY CUT WHEN ALMOST MATURE AND PLACE IN A PAPER BAG SO THE SPORE IS CONTAINED AND THEN SOW WHILE FRESH AS MOST FERNS HAVE SHORT VIABILITY. SOW ON TOP OF A GOOD SEED RAISING MIX OR PEAT MOSS AND KEEP MOIST IN A WARM POSITION (COLD FRAME OR SUCHLIKE) UNTILL AT SECOND OR TRUE LEAF STAGE. aNOTHER WAY IN WARM CLIMATES IS TO SOW ON TOP OF AN OLD HOUSE BRICK SUBMERSED HALF-WAY IN WATER UNDER GLASS.

A large, tough family, a few are cold tender and others are regarded as potential weeds in Tropical climates. C.parqui is prized for its night scented perfume.
