In my village near pahang we have many platycerium like platycerium ridleyi, platycerium, holttumii and platycerium coronarium. and many others species of Huperzia and Lycopodium, blue huperzia/Huperzia goebelii are rare to many people overharvest it. some people sell huge and big coronarium just RM30-35, small just like RM10, and some just can get free, ridleyi more expensive big about rm50-60. some malaysian chinese sell back to rm150. just like durian they become expensive because chinese style to eat it.
More should be done to reduce the plants being taken from the wild and being sold. Propagation via spores helps this. Hope you are doing your part to reduce stocks being taken from the wild. Conservation efforts and the sustainable management of natural resources is essential to the survival of these beautiful plants.
@@TheRootCulturistThanks. My spores have recently started to develop. They still are really tiny, first leaves only. The peat moss/sphagnum was very wet, watered from below. I am air drying it out a bit, afraid of fungus. When do i begin to fertilize? I think many more still will develop
That looks like a bit too much water.

Have some grey fuzz (fungus?) at one corner of the box where I put the spores. Mist with diluted hydrogen peroxide or wood vinegar to get rid of it?
Yes that’s right. Can take some out and change into a new container too.
@@TheRootCulturist Thanks!
What is the yellow stuff on minute 2:07?
Slow release fertiliser
Que fertilizante usas?
Slow release fertiliser
@@TheRootCulturist Gracias. Me pareció escuchar que en el agua de riego usabas algún fertilizante?
Yes, for that you can use seaweed extract or fish emulsion at low concentration.
@@TheRootCulturist muchas gracias
Can i ask if the container is airtight
Yes it’s in an airtight container
Love your video
Thank you
How often do you open the lid and check the moisture?
Hi, when the the gametophyte starts to form. In an enclosure environment, there isn’t a need to check the moisture.
How long do they take to grow?
It depends spore germination can take as fast as days to as long as months.
About six months.
What fertilizer do you use?
Slow release fert. The general NPK 14,14,14 is ok. Have been using 14,9,15 recently. Also ok.

If the germinated spores are too compact you can thin them out and add the slow release fertiliser into the transfer container.
