How to Propagate Sphaeropteris?
Primary propagation methods for sphaeropteris include spore sowing and division. Key factors for success involve maintaining high humidity, warm temperatures, and well-draining soil. Special attention should be given to cleanliness to avoid fungal issues when sowing spores. The difficulty level can be high due to the need for specific environmental conditions and the slow growth process. To propagate, collect ripe spores, sow on peat-based media, keep moist and warm (approx. 20-25°C), and wait for germination. Alternatively, divide rhizomes of mature plants during repotting, ensuring each division has roots and fronds, then plant in appropriate soil.
