Rabbit's foot fern propagation

mrbixley
15 years ago

I have trouble with the little "feet" when propagating. Should I use root-tone or something like that to get them to produce more roots? Do you cover them with soil or just lay on top of the soil? So far my success rate is in the minus column. Would appreciate any help!!!
