How to reproduce ferns by twigs

Ferns are plants that have always attracted attention. Most varieties are short, no more than 60-70cm tall, and since they do not have a trunk or an invasive root system, they can be kept in the same pot for many years. Furthermore, they can be reproduced in two different ways: cutting what is known as frond (popularly we say leaf or twig) below the soil surface, or by spores.

To get a new copy, after acquiring your frond you must put rooting hormones, and plant it in a pot with a substrate rich in organic matter. It is highly recommended to use compost with a little perlite (10% of the total will be enough).

How to sow fern spores

Fern spores are found on the underside of fronds. They are tiny, so it is recommended that are collected in a room where no window is open. Sori should be scraped carefully onto white paper. Once you have them, sow them in a pot with equal parts peat and sand, and cover the seedbed with a transparent plastic or glass to maintain a high temperature, around 25 degrees.

It should be watered with rainwater, distilled or without lime, to maintain humidity.
