Frullania vaginata can be propagated by spores, which are released from the sporophytes. The spores are spread by wind and water and can settle on moist surfaces. The spores will then germinate and form a protonema, which will eventually develop into a gametophyte. The gametophyte will produce male and female gametes, which will then fuse to form a zygote. The zygote will then develop into a sporophyte, which will eventually produce spores and the cycle will start again.
