Hi
Is this the same as M. steelei?? Have no experience at propagating but this has quickly become one of my favorite ferns!!! I grow several other Microrum species but pale when compared to this species .
Hope you get some good answers I would love to expand the numbers .
Noticed you are in Greece do you have any culture problems?? So far I've had none at all. gary |

Hi
I've had mine around two years now planted in long fibered sphagnum in a six inch pot growing under heliconia in the shadehouse Has flourished in that situation . has been much less a problem than the aquatic species in the family, outdoors. have noted there is great change by the amount of light bighter produces much greener fronds while shady produces the gorgeous metallic blue color.
They have become very common at local plant sales so I figure somebody is propagating them in large numbers.
I was told by the vendor that steelei has a much deeper more metallic blue than thailandicum. Find they are synonyms on the net??
I'm always afraid of trying spores because the shadehouse gets overun with several species though none of the Microsorum genus. gary

Hi
Curious if you grow other species of the genus?? I grow
M.pteropus,musifoliam and now thailandicum.
amazing as to how differnt the conditions they grow in and fun experimenting with alternative culture methods.
Growing pteropus semi'terrestial rather than aquatic .
Sure didn't like it at first but seems to have adapted. Don't find many fern growers of this genus for some reason particularly the thailandicum. gary |
