fCLEF007 gorgeous ay. I’d kill to have a garden look remotely that lush, with natural waterfall etc. Now excuse me while I go water my recreation of the Simpson Desert 😳🤭
It’s incredible! It’s the greenhouse in the Tasmanian botanical gardens in Hobart :) I’ve seen the outside and I’ve always wanted to go inside and explore haha!
here's several suggestions worth trying select the top variety - there are lots available. grow them in the best environment - some such as oyster muchrooms like cool humid areas and may be put outdoors (I learned these and the reasons they work on gregs mushroom grower website )
I also love collecting ferns from the side of the roads here in the Philippines and replanting it in our yard. Seeing ferns makes me feel the peace in rainforest even though i never been to a forest.
I propagated staghorn ferns and they are little sporophytes up after four months. For what I had read I thought they would take longer, but they are like 2 cms already. Maybe it's the weather here in my country, but I'm so happy because I thought it would be much harder to propagate them. ♥️
Thanks for this. I know it's been a while since you posted this, but I'm hoping you can clarify a few things. I was confused that she prepared the bark bed in the tray container but then planted the spores in the pot with the peat mix. Was the tray an alternate method, not used in this example? How'd the other sprouted examples get in the tray? Also, there was no mention of the time of year to grow these. I'm assuming that the spores will be ripe in late summer and since this process takes up to five months that it would be done indoors over the winter? Thanks for your show. Just discovered it. Great fun.
My Grandma would use the little plastic containers from the gumball machines to start her ferns. She would use old fish tanks after the ferns had grown some.
No, she demonstrated two ways of potting. The soil in the rectangular container is just peat moss, which would require perlite for proper drainage. The soil in the round one (which she didn't add perlite to) is a mixture of peat moss, potting bark, and sand which is well-draining enough to not necessitate the use of perlite! Additionally, this pot has drainage holes, which helps with drainage, while the rectangular tub did not. Seeing this, the spores need fine, well draining soil to germinate. I assume she showed two ways to demonstrate that so that the viewer does not feel limited to one way or the other. If you can get a mix that drains very well and is very fine, you should be able to grow them!
@@skibidiboobop Thanks for your summary. In fact I think she showed THREE ways, including the last one in which she submerges the fronds complete and BOTH of them have holes to let boiling water to drain. By the way which differences did you find between the first and second mixes?
Wow. I would love to have a collection of ferns like that one day. I just purchased some spores, mostly of native species (that are uncommon in my area). Fingers crossed they grow. I also just got a guide to put names to the ferns I see everyday and use currently in my terrariums.
Be patient. I have a small clear tub that I have put spores in 1 year ago. Some ferns germinated within 6 months, others are currently starting to germinate. It takes time, but it is worth it. Growing back some ferns I just had to throw away for multiple reasons.
I bought a home up In the snowy mountains and there are about 14 Australian tree ferns absolutely beautiful..I have now a few young ones growing successfully from your process..thanks
Tried to propagate my Maidenhair once but it never worked out. When it makes more spores I might try again. Not sure how to propagate Boston ferns though since they don't seem to make spores unless it's just mine that isn't making them.
Boston ferns are genetically mutated ferns that are sterile and therefore do not produce spores, so you can only propagate them through division. Luckily they seem to make tiny plantlets frequently!
Thankyou very much Sue. Very informative. I struggle to grow a haiden hair fern. The others I've put in the shady and dark sides of the walls and fences and they seem to flourish
How awesome, love your work& thanks for the information, I’ve tried this (before the internet was so accessible ) had no idea what I was doing, thanks to your segment, I’ve now a better shot in being successful at growing some fern babies🥰
Kinda in biology a spore referes to a single cell with multiple membranes that can remain dormant for long periods of time until conditions are favorable they occur in funghi, bacteria, algae and some plants like moses and of course ferns🤓
Brilliant video, wonder if sue and the producer could advise better ‘peat free’ alternative substrate? And what temperature to keep the spores in during the ziploc bag stage onward? Thanks
What happens to the stuff in the round pot? Where did the stuff in the open flat trays come from? What did she do with the container with the perlite? It seems like there are steps missing. It's clear how to collect spores -- it's not at all clear what to do with them after you sprinkle them on some potting mix.
I got too excited that I can propagate my only tree fern with spores I stopped halfway through the video and had already planted spores I got into a pot and watered it! Dammit!! I hope this doesn't fail!
Japanese Climbing fern is wreaking havoc in the southeast of the US. It seems that the spores travel on lawnmowers and are disperse along the route of landscaper mowing paths especially along the sides of the road near ditches. The bad thing about Japanese climbing fern is that it is an invasive non-native whos spores can travel long distances and stay viable for a long time.
Thank you for sharing this video. I love for watching,so interesting and I've never know how many kinds of Ferns we have in this planet. I want to know what kind of Ferns can be eaten? ?.?
There are a number of species eaten traditionally in many parts of the world, from emerging fiddlehead tips to rhizomatous roots. Some require careful preparation to ensure they are safe to eat but ALL must be identified correctly before consuming. A local fern specialist nursery would be a great place to start your research. Good luck!
I live in Ferntree Gully in Dandenong Ranges in Melbourne and have many Dicksonia ferns on my property and forest. Occasionally trees die. My question is why don't the existing trees self seed as seems to happen in other areas of the Dandenongs. Am going to try to propagate some for replacement but it does look a bit like another job to do. Would be great if mother nature would do it for me. Would love an answer if anyone reads this. Thanks
@@GardeningAustralia Would you like to see how I grow ferns and moss on bricks? ua-cam.com/video/r4HVYZuMBTc/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/IQP8PsKg07o/v-deo.html
I hope one day one of my ferns will create spores and I can try to propagate them 😭 and I hope I will manage to keep my ferns alive, one is already most likely dead because I forgot to water it (I'm still watering and misting in the hopes that the roots are still alive) and another is barely clinging to life because of the same reason... Boston fern is doing pretty well, as is this other fern which I don't know the name of, that too almost died because I didn't water it but I got to it in time that it has recovered well from that experience and there are already new fronds growing
Coco Coir is not what it's made out to be and I wish there were some regulations that made labelling a bit clearer. My father ran a plantation for Burns Phillip on New Ireland (PNG) and I asked what the weed growth was like around the coir mounds (waste). He told me it was barren and STAYED barren, unlike the truck loads of poultry manure we dumped in our paddock. Atleast the chicken poop breaks down??
Great video! I love ferns, soon I will be staying and working in the farm. We have a lot of ferns there, I can't wait to try and propagate them too. Thanks for showing us the methods.
It's not insane. It keeps unwanted spores and such out until you are ready to plant. The mycorrizal fungi are easily airborne or transferred by other means and will repopulate that soil well before the ferns are prepared for the benefit.
Has anyone tried doing this successfully yet? I think I have a monarch fern in the backyard but I'm still waiting for it to produce spores. I wanna try this too
HI, Can anybody tell me what potting bark is? Is it just potting mix? Some potting mix has fertiliser and coco peat, will this be an issue for the spores? Thanks
For ferns, in this video she was using a bark soil, which is likely decomposed pine bark, crushed fine. Many ferns prefer to grow on woody, decomposing surfaces. I managed to get some spores to grow this past year.
How beautiful was that amazing glass house they were in?!!

LagiNaLangAko23 i have wild ferns in my garden here in Manila. I’d say as long as the area’s cool and moist, the ferns will live 😊
I do the same thing in Australia,water and shaded area and they thrive.
I do the same here in Brazil. I'm turning my backyard here in São Paulo into a real forest.

Would love to see pictures of them. Did you sterilize the medium as well ?
I nearly cried reading this it's so wholesome and wonderful
This lady is very educated and great to listen to
Thank you for watching!
Wow soo cool. Never knew this was how they they start out.. . I would love to recreate growth of a native Victorian fern. Fascinating .
I live in Humboldt county among the Redwoods and there are ferns everywhere. Thanks for sharing on how they propagate
The giggle plus the shrug after “sporehouse” tho
It's fascinating that such an ancient form of plant reproduction is still thriving, and that competing forms of reproduction exist.
This is so insanely awesome and well done. I had no idea they reproduced like that

Hi Gary, great questions. Did you end up finding out what the container was used for?
My Grandma would use the little plastic containers from the gumball machines to start her ferns. She would use old fish tanks after the ferns had grown some.
that's so cute. and smart of her
I moved to NZ 3 years ago and my favorite thing is how many different ferns I can see everywhere 😍😍😍 I am literally in love with them now
Never knew fern reproduce after taking root, and started growing. Quite interesting.
I would love to see this in person. Ferns are my favorite
Yeah there is something about ferns I can't put my finger on... My favorite plant as well
Apart from the use of peat, which we no longer use, this is exactly how I sow spores here in the U.K.. I just wish I had that greenhouse! And rain!
You don't have rain in the UK? What kind of universe do you live in?
@@viktorvondoom9119
We do, but not when required.

Enough said!

I never knew how the spores worked. Thank you so much for sharing this made my day.
Did she used the other container with the perlite at the bottom as well? Did I miss something? However, great video. Will definitely try this one day!

I also enjoy growing and propagating ferns, would love to have a chat with Sue
I'm careful around watering cans now... lol! learnt something new today! Gonna give it a go at pasteurizing media this way...
Bravo 👏 your precision and descriptions are accurate..imfo is more than adequate well done looking forward to more videos from you thanks
Wow it’s really a plant that grows very similarly to mushrooms, that’s amazing
She's so cool!

@@everettdaugherty8817 woah thats wild
Wondering if that method of collecting spores wud work with maiden hair? Guess I can only try 🤔
It will, it's all the same thing across the fern group. Temperature requirements may vary but always some humidity, and patience! :)
Coco peat although devoid of most nutrition does have higher than ideal levels of potassium, perhaps why young spores don't like it.
Hi from Melbourne
I need a fern greenhouse in my backyard!
Thankyou very much Sue. Very informative. I struggle to grow a haiden hair fern. The others I've put in the shady and dark sides of the walls and fences and they seem to flourish
Sooo cool! I've always wondered how to propagate ferns. I definitely want to try now!
Mesmerising!

How awesome, love your work& thanks for the information, I’ve tried this (before the internet was so accessible ) had no idea what I was doing, thanks to your segment, I’ve now a better shot in being successful at growing some fern babies🥰
I never knew ferns used spores, but I'm guessing that they propagate the same as mushroom spores.
Just like misses, which also produce spores.
Kinda in biology a spore referes to a single cell with multiple membranes that can remain dormant for long periods of time until conditions are favorable they occur in funghi, bacteria, algae and some plants like moses and of course ferns🤓
@Gardening Australia Does this also work for birds nest?
Great video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Brilliant video, wonder if sue and the producer could advise better ‘peat free’ alternative substrate? And what temperature to keep the spores in during the ziploc bag stage onward? Thanks
Coconut substrate as an alternative and keep in a dark humid if possible place like maybe under bathroom sink or bathroom closet 👍🤠
Wow what an amazing video, thanks G.A 🍀

Interesting. I usually replant wild ferns in my garden and they love their new home. But I will try the first method of propagation.
Damn that place looks like heaven 😍
this is a brilliant video
7:54 "half strength seaweed solution". I didn't quite catch it but it was in the video notes, just to remind myself for later
This was friggin AWESOME!
Prothallus is not single cell organism. Its a haploid stage but its many cells building heart shape liverwart.
I don't think she actually meant "cell" in that way.
I think it was a short hand for her, but just wanted to leave this info for people who might not no biology as much.
Will this kind of technique in propagation can be applied in Asplenium nidus plant as well?
Need help. Thanks.
Well lite warm space so good to know because a lot tell the opposite
Great energy! Thanks for the vid! :)

What about watering frequency germinating? Did she just say you can only start watering after 4/5 months after germinate? 7:47
Fossils are really delicate so idk why you would hold that with your bare hands if you want that thing to last even more time...
Depends what the fossil is. They survive several millions of years for a reason.

Great video! I love ferns, soon I will be staying and working in the farm. We have a lot of ferns there, I can't wait to try and propagate them too. Thanks for showing us the methods.
Ferns depend on mycorrhizal fungi as well. It's insane to pasturize your soil like that :(
To be fair, if it was a store-bought bagged mix, it was very likely already pasteurized.
It's not insane. It keeps unwanted spores and such out until you are ready to plant. The mycorrizal fungi are easily airborne or transferred by other means and will repopulate that soil well before the ferns are prepared for the benefit.
a guy I know who works with ferns at a botanical garden always autoclaves his soil for ferns and he seems to have no problem with that
Anything from australia is a dark art.
I love it
But they can't survive me, 😕 I love ferns but haven't been able to succeed
Nice "pasteurized" when she said that and not "sterilized" shes professional
