[Closed] Lecanopteris sinuosa spores 2022

[WillyCKH]

Hi everyone,
My Lecanopteris sinuosa (ant-fern) has made some fresh spores, I have some for spare if anyone wants to be fern buddies.
Be warned, growing Lecanopteris from spores can take a very long time... It will be very rewarding to watch them grow from spores to ferns.
You will also be entitled to this conversation ender: "Oh yeah? Guess what, I've successfully grown ant-ferns from spores."
Postage is included but small donations are always welcomed.
I'll be mailing them once the signup list is filled and when I have spare time from chemo.
Cheers,
Willy

PS: I hope the cold temperatures won't affect the spores. If anyone is an expert please let me know.

Thanks Willy!

I will treat them with gibberrelic acid to accelerate the germination and will let you know the outcome.

Very generous of you, thanks

Nice to know, will try

Would the standard nep mix work?

 

[Lloyd Gordon]

I use sterilized peat.
