Cultivation and Propagation

Tectaria moorei is a fern that can be propagated by spores or division. It prefers moist, shady conditions and can be grown in a pot or in the ground. When planting in a pot, use a soil-based compost and ensure that the pot has good drainage. When planting in the ground, ensure that the soil is well-drained and that the area is shaded. When propagating by spores, collect the spores in the spring and sow them on a moist, sterile medium. Keep the medium moist and in a warm, shady location until the spores germinate. Once the spores have germinated, transplant the seedlings into individual pots and keep them in a warm, shady location until they are ready to be planted in the ground.
