Planting Season
From Mid Spring TO Late Spring
In spring plant in a moist and fertile position in a shady or partially shaded site.
Propagation by spores
From Early Autumn TO Mid Autumn
Collect spores in the Autumn, when they are ripe, and sow spores under glass on top of compost, and place the pot or tray in a resealable polythene bag in bright light. After 2-8 weeks the top of the compost should turn green, and prothallia should appear. Mist lightly to encourage fertilisation. After several more weeks the first fronds should appear. When the plants are about 2" high, pot into separate pots, but keep the humidity high by putting the pots in polythene bags
