F.A.Q. After having this site for some time and trying to answer all the questions received by e mail I decided to answer the most frequently asked questions on a separate page.
Here is a site with excellent mounting instructions and images to indicate exactly how. Mounting on boards, trees and in baskets is discussed in detail. http://www.fernfactory.com/shop/mounting.asp Another site with good mounting tips http://home.earthlink.net/~decho/stagmount.htm
It is best to only remove and transplant pups that have formed their own fertile fronds. The chances of them surviving on their own are a lot better. I usually use a sharp kitchen knife and cut through the pad of old shield fronds right the backing board, remembering to leave enough of the old shields on the mother plant and also giving the pup a reasonable amount of backing. Remember that the fern's roots are in the old shields and the less original backing the plant has, the less roots it has. The tie is down on the new mounting.
