How to Propagate Pallavicinia?
Propagation of pallavicinia primarily relies on spore sowing and division. Key factors for propagation success include maintaining high humidity, ensuring appropriate light exposure without direct sunlight, and utilizing a substrate like sphagnum moss or peat that mimics its natural boggy habitat. Given the need for a stable, moist environment, special considerations might involve creating a microclimate that suits pallavicinia's requirements. The difficulty level is moderate to challenging, particularly because of the precise environmental conditions needed. To propagate by division, follow these steps: gently separate a healthy portion of the plant, ensuring it has rhizoids; place the section on moist substrate; cover with a transparent dome or plastic to retain humidity; and keep in indirect light with consistent temperatures. Await new growth before gradually acclimating to less controlled conditions.
