tree ferns
Hi,
I've just sown some treefern as well and did do a bit of investigation.
Spores are either male or female so first you should see a layer of green layer stuff (not very scientifical, I know)
In that layer the sperm swims to the egg, etc (you must have heard this story before...........)
Sounds like yours are in the swimming stage, lol.
After that the actually fern is starting to grow.
You can transplant them when they are somewhere between 6 and 50 mm high, depending on how closely they're growing together.
Hope this helps!
Agnes
