My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Propagating ferns from underground 'balls'

16 years ago

I left my 10 gallon Boston Ferns outside over the winter and they froze back and died. When I broke the soil ball open I found there were lots of quail-egg-sized watery balls among the roots. Is there any hope of propagating new plants from these?
