Default Re: Give a dog a bone... Ima grow FERNS !

I have had pretty good luck so far growing fern from spores. The first pic is about 2 weeks after I sowed them, As you can see in the second pic, I sowed waaaayyy too many lol. The third pic is from today, and the first true leaves are starting to sprout. Just make sure after the gametophytes reach a good size, mist them with a spray bottle so fertilization can occur. To get to this phase, it took about 2 months. They are from Northern Maidenhair that grow wild behind my house. The last pic are what the adults look like, they look pretty tropical I think.
