It's pretty hit or miss by taking a Qtip swab of spores off a plant and tapping them out over some suitable growing media and giving good misting every day (though it works). There's a cool step by step of spore sowing and how to breed (sow spores) and make making hybrid ferns in this book.
It's sorta pricey but it's the best fern book I own. It covers many facets not touched on elsewhere (like making hybrid ferns)! I just wish it had more color photos than a clump in the middle.
I tried growing redleyi from spores once and I did pretty well, but I think I put too many spores crowding the culture. I had a couple small plants form but they died shortly after. After a couple months the whole cultures started turning brown.
I would love to try again, do you where I can get more spores? One Species I would LOVE to grow is Pyrrosia longifolia 'crestata' !!!!! So beautiful!! By the way you have a lot of beautiufl plant, Very nice Lycopodiums you have too!!
