How to Propagate Callistopteris?
The primary propagation methods for callistopteris include spore sowing and division. Success hinges on maintaining high humidity, consistent moisture, warmth, and indirect light. Sterile conditions are vital when sowing spores to prevent fungal growth. Dividing callistopteris requires care to avoid damaging delicate roots and fronds. This species can be challenging for beginners due to its specific environmental needs. To propagate, start with spore sterilization and sow on peat or sterile soil; for division, gently separate healthy rhizomes, ensuring each has fronds, and replant in moist, well-draining substrate. Regular misting is key to maintain humidity.
