Moss, Ferns & Cryptogams

growing ferns from spores information

16 years ago

I sent out lots of fern spores the last couple of years and emailed detailed information I'd written on how to grow them. Unfortunately I lost everything when my computer died, and I am hoping that someone out there has the information and can send it back to me so I can share it with others.

Thanks in advance,

Kate

I've found a couple of sites with information. The first one is a book that can be read on-line:

After a closer look, I noticed that the first link is only a preview of the book and not all pages are included, Sorry. I did find a couple more links:
