How to Propagate Lophosoria?
Primary propagation methods for lophosoria include spore sowing and division. Key factors for successful propagation involve maintaining high humidity, providing indirect light, ensuring warm temperatures, and using well-draining soil. Special techniques for lophosoria may include misting to maintain moisture and sterilizing soil to prevent fungal growth. Propagating lophosoria is generally considered challenging due to the necessity of creating a controlled environment for spore germination. To propagate by division, follow these steps: 1) Carefully dig up lophosoria, 2) Separate the rhizomes, ensuring each division has fronds and roots, 3) Plant divisions in appropriate soil, 4) Maintain consistent moisture and warmth, and 5) Allow new plants to establish in a shaded location before transplanting.
