here's several suggestions worth trying select the top variety - there are lots available. grow them in the best environment - some such as oyster muchrooms like cool humid areas and may be put outdoors (I learned these and the reasons they work on gregs mushroom grower website )

I propagated staghorn ferns and they are little sporophytes up after four months. For what I had read I thought they would take longer, but they are like 2 cms already. Maybe it's the weather here in my country, but I'm so happy because I thought it would be much harder to propagate them. ♥️

Thanks for this. I know it's been a while since you posted this, but I'm hoping you can clarify a few things. I was confused that she prepared the bark bed in the tray container but then planted the spores in the pot with the peat mix. Was the tray an alternate method, not used in this example? How'd the other sprouted examples get in the tray? Also, there was no mention of the time of year to grow these. I'm assuming that the spores will be ripe in late summer and since this process takes up to five months that it would be done indoors over the winter? Thanks for your show. Just discovered it. Great fun.

Did she used the other container with the perlite at the bottom as well? Did I miss something? However, great video. Will definitely try this one day!

@skibidiboobop

No, she demonstrated two ways of potting. The soil in the rectangular container is just peat moss, which would require perlite for proper drainage. The soil in the round one (which she didn't add perlite to) is a mixture of peat moss, potting bark, and sand which is well-draining enough to not necessitate the use of perlite! Additionally, this pot has drainage holes, which helps with drainage, while the rectangular tub did not. Seeing this, the spores need fine, well draining soil to germinate. I assume she showed two ways to demonstrate that so that the viewer does not feel limited to one way or the other. If you can get a mix that drains very well and is very fine, you should be able to grow them!

There are a number of species eaten traditionally in many parts of the world, from emerging fiddlehead tips to rhizomatous roots. Some require careful preparation to ensure they are safe to eat but ALL must be identified correctly before consuming. A local fern specialist nursery would be a great place to start your research. Good luck!

Coconut substrate as an alternative and keep in a dark humid if possible place like maybe under bathroom sink or bathroom closet 👍🤠

Coco peat although devoid of most nutrition does have higher than ideal levels of potassium, perhaps why young spores don't like it. Hi from Melbourne

this is like a more laid back version of mycology

Will this kind of technique in propagation can be applied in Asplenium nidus plant as well? Need help. Thanks.

I love it

Well lite warm space so good to know because a lot tell the opposite

Tried to propagate my Maidenhair once but it never worked out. When it makes more spores I might try again. Not sure how to propagate Boston ferns though since they don't seem to make spores unless it's just mine that isn't making them.

@everettdaugherty8817

Boston ferns are genetically mutated ferns that are sterile and therefore do not produce spores, so you can only propagate them through division. Luckily they seem to make tiny plantlets frequently!

What happens to the stuff in the round pot? Where did the stuff in the open flat trays come from? What did she do with the container with the perlite? It seems like there are steps missing. It's clear how to collect spores -- it's not at all clear what to do with them after you sprinkle them on some potting mix.

Kinda in biology a spore referes to a single cell with multiple membranes that can remain dormant for long periods of time until conditions are favorable they occur in funghi, bacteria, algae and some plants like moses and of course ferns🤓

I live in Ferntree Gully in Dandenong Ranges in Melbourne and have many Dicksonia ferns on my property and forest. Occasionally trees die. My question is why don't the existing trees self seed as seems to happen in other areas of the Dandenongs. Am going to try to propagate some for replacement but it does look a bit like another job to do. Would be great if mother nature would do it for me. Would love an answer if anyone reads this. Thanks

Great video! I love ferns, soon I will be staying and working in the farm. We have a lot of ferns there, I can't wait to try and propagate them too. Thanks for showing us the methods.

hello, is there a different type of leatherleaf fern in Costa Rica and Florida?

I got too excited that I can propagate my only tree fern with spores I stopped halfway through the video and had already planted spores I got into a pot and watered it! Dammit!! I hope this doesn't fail!

how long do spores stay viable?

7:54 "half strength seaweed solution". I didn't quite catch it but it was in the video notes, just to remind myself for later

Is it possible to do it without using Peat?

For ferns, in this video she was using a bark soil, which is likely decomposed pine bark, crushed fine. Many ferns prefer to grow on woody, decomposing surfaces. I managed to get some spores to grow this past year.

Around 7:55 , "you can start watering them or misting them with half ______________ solution". Anyone understand that one?

My psilotum nudum/wisk fern is producing spores, little tiny yellow spore buds Can anyone help me how to propagate them fm spores?

Has anyone tried doing this successfully yet? I think I have a monarch fern in the backyard but I'm still waiting for it to produce spores. I wanna try this too

I hope one day one of my ferns will create spores and I can try to propagate them 😭 and I hope I will manage to keep my ferns alive, one is already most likely dead because I forgot to water it (I'm still watering and misting in the hopes that the roots are still alive) and another is barely clinging to life because of the same reason... Boston fern is doing pretty well, as is this other fern which I don't know the name of, that too almost died because I didn't water it but I got to it in time that it has recovered well from that experience and there are already new fronds growing

What about watering frequency germinating? Did she just say you can only start watering after 4/5 months after germinate? 7:47

Anything from australia is a dark art.

Japanese Climbing fern is wreaking havoc in the southeast of the US. It seems that the spores travel on lawnmowers and are disperse along the route of landscaper mowing paths especially along the sides of the road near ditches. The bad thing about Japanese climbing fern is that it is an invasive non-native whos spores can travel long distances and stay viable for a long time.

Coco Coir is not what it's made out to be and I wish there were some regulations that made labelling a bit clearer. My father ran a plantation for Burns Phillip on New Ireland (PNG) and I asked what the weed growth was like around the coir mounds (waste). He told me it was barren and STAYED barren, unlike the truck loads of poultry manure we dumped in our paddock. Atleast the chicken poop breaks down??

But they can't survive me, 😕 I love ferns but haven't been able to succeed
