Propagating Ferns from Spores - Family Plot
Vložit
- čas přidán 7. 08. 2024
- Ferns are one of the most primitive vascular plants in the world today. Gardeners can propagate ferns by dividing and sometimes with cutting rhizomes, but in nature ferns reproduce by spores. Kim Rucker the Greenhouse manager at Dixon Gallery and Gardens tells how to propagate ferns from the spores. In the late summer or early fall the fern spores on the back of the leaves are mature. Kim collects some leaves in an envelope and shows how to get the spores to release. Then she prepares a small container with germinating mix and vermiculite and dumps the spores in. After several weeks a moss-looking green covering will be seen on the soil. This is the gametophyte stage of the fern’s life cycle. If you continue to let it grow the sporophyte stage will grow, which is what we know as a fern.

I honesty just looked up fern spores cause I was bored then watched this video and I’m glad I did
Great presentation. Lots of essential information sprinkled with supporting background, and delivered slowly. Well done.
Thank You! Glad we could help.
This was so interesting. The only thing I wasn't sure about after viewing it, was the reason why the perlite is only put on one side of the container.
I believe it's because of it's draining property, while perlite helps in moisture retention, it also helps excess water drain and as the ferns have a habit of moist condition, she put it only on the sides.
ITS VERMICULITEEEE!!!! Please don’t use perlite
Thanks for using the correct terminology!
Excellent video! I've been having a hard time finding enough Ostrich ferns to meet my (imagined) needs. Now I think I'll buy a couple and take it from there. Not instant gratification, but good enough. Thank you for providing this.
You're welcome! Glad to help.
IM SO EXCITED. Im doing this for the first time. Thank you so much, this was very straightforward. See you all in a year
This was so informative! Thank you! I’m excited to start growing little ferns.
That was great, thanks so much for sharing
This is fascinating! Thanks to you all for putting it together!
Glad you enjoyed it!
She explained it very well indeed
Awesome video! Thanks for the info!
Very nice information about fern I liked it cool
😯😯did not know that those spores were the seeds!!!!!!
Thank you so much.
They're not though. Seeds are sexual generation and spores asexual
@@kria9119 well, kind of. Spores are the result of sexual reproduction between fern prothallia / gametophytes. The spores first grow into a gametophyte which then reproduces sexually to give rise to a "normal" sporophyte fern.
Great video!
This was extremely useful information. Thanks 👍
Thank you from Aus🇦🇺
I love this channel I will subscribe for sure I really appreciate you guys and than you so much for sharing !
Glad we could help! Thanks for the sub!
So wonderful! Thank you.
this was honestly very helpful and im really excited to try it
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. Good luck with the ferns.
Thank you
awesome video! glad to have found your channel! 100!!
Thank you. Hope you find lots of good videos here.
Wow i was looking for this and the lady is really informative about the fern
Glad we could help!
This video is awesome! off to go collect some spores!!
Cool! Good Luck!
I love to eat fiddleheads and wanted to save seed but was very perplexed by the strange lifecycle, thank you and Ms. Rucker for making this topic straight forward and simple!
Glad we could help. They are amazing plants.
Love it
Thank you. Very interesting. I’ve just touched what I thought were the seeds of my Asplinium Antiquum (the brown thin things that hang inside under the larger fronds) and found by touching them I have discovered that a very fine mist is left on my finger. I tried it twice and got the same answer. This tiny powder IS the seed not the thin brown things which must exude these spores.
So the brown long things are the ferns seed banks which then send out the spores which are the next generation to be. I see now. Thank you so much. Wanted to know more and this vid has done it. Such a long propagation time though very surprised there too.

Glad we could help. Good luck with your new ferns.
Loved the video!
What am I supposed to do with the tray during the months of propagation? Keep it in a location the plant would like, water it and replenish the compost?
What a WONDERFUL video!
I absolutely appreciate you!!
🤜👍🤛♡♡♡
We are glad we could help!
Nooooooooooooooo
Didn't know they were spores . Always thought they were some kind of blight or pest growing in the leaves
Very cool video! When do we remove the lid?
Does the leaf with the spores always die? The biggest one on my blue star fern has some brown spores. Can I collect them without cutting off the leaf?
I hope I can do this with my new blue oil fern
Do you keep the container outside?
I only have garden soil lol! I hope to goodness that's enough!
Almost threw out a leafe covered in black spores ( I think thats what they're called) here I go trying to see what I get from them, wish me luck!
I am learning about
No need to poke holes in the lids ?
nope.
1 YEAR?!?!? you gotta be kidding
Haha yeah I think I set my spores up like 6-8 months ago and I just discovered little gametophytes today. Took a long time but it was honestly super exciting!
Same goes for the Cobra fern? Or not?
You can do the same thing for cobra ferns. The spores are on the underside of the leaves. When the spores start to look fuzzy cut them off and put them in the envelope.
Why does the soil have to be sterile? Is it okay if I dig up some soil from where the ferns were growing and sow the seeds in that?
Having sterile soil lets you know for sure that what is growing is actually a fern. Because it takes them so long to develop any other seeds in the soil will sprout and create problems. You can try to use the other soil like you said. See if it works.
You will also run the risk of diseases and more importantly fungi taking over before the ferns get anywhere
Those plants don't look like modern days of them
As soon as she said a year for tiny plants I thought not for me
I NOW things
If the spores need such special handling and conditions, how do they ever sprout in the wild? Sterile soil, sterile water, always warm and moist. Really?
I'm no plant expert, but based on what little I've read, I believe what you pointed out is precisely why plants like ferns and trees expel so many billions of spores and seeds every year. Only a few ever get the perfect conditions to grow!
They don’t need that, but you need that if you don’t want a cup full of random fungi.
And yes they need consistent moisture, and you will almost never see them outside of moist environments like riverbanks and marshy areas.

Is that weed????
Zero waste tv recommended this channel. It delivered.
Thanks!!
