Woodwardia unigemmata

(1/2) > >>

Véronique Macrelle:
my Woodwardia unigemmata (2nd winter in open ground) produces 3 bulbils on its fronds. these are small fluffy balls of 3 to 5 mm.
 do you know how to make them become a fern? how to propagate this fern from the bulbils?
for now the leaves do not seem to suffer from the cold .. but it has only been - 6 ° C last week..

Maggi Young:
I would  remove the  bulbils  now  and pot them up, cover them lightly  with a  neutral ph substrate  and  put them somewhere  sheltered - I think they will sprout  in spring.  :-\

Véronique Macrelle:
thank, Maggy

Véronique Macrelle:
here are the photos of Woodwardia: it has only been planted for 2 years, and is still small: only 3 leaves this year, one of which is 80 cm long.


then the few bulbils on the leaves

RoryOH:
Asplenium bulbiferum produces bulbils also. In the first pic you can see them attached and second pic is one detached waiting to be planted in a small pot. They take fairly easily.
