dicksonia antarctica 10 months old



When I started to grow these ferns from spores back in February 2011 i was pretty confident , like yep I'm going to have lots of baby ferns pretty soon , well nothing much happened for a while. Over the coarse of weeks leading into months I pretty much gave up any hope, it looked like I was growing moss . I didnt even bother watering them but I left them covered. Come springtime in September I thought I might as well water the moss , it could be rare Queensland moss carried down with the weather. Now the moss is really beginning to look more ferny every day, if every one of these spornlings grows up I'm literally going to have thousands ferns. You really have to be patient and persist , nature runs at its own pace .
