Favorite Mother Ferns?

7 years ago

I know a lot of people think specifically of Asplenium bulbiferum when they think of mother ferns: plants which can reproduce by making bulbils/plantlets on the fronds. However, there are many other species.


Right now I have:


Asplenium bulbiferum

Woodwardia orientalis

Polystichum setiferum (I think...)

Hemionits arifolia


I'v had a couple more in the past. If I were to get a small collection going, which would be nice additions, and why? I'm in a frost free, cool summer, zone 10 climate, so I don't have a a huge motivation to grow plants which go dormant every year.


Any that are particular odd, colorful, unusual, etc. would be of great interest.


Pictured are Woodwardia orientalis (not my plant) and Polystichum setiferum (I think).


Woodardia orientalis (plantlets can be colored).



Polystichum setiferum



Thanks!
