Bird's Nest Fern Spores . 
 
HOW TO GROW BIRD’S NEST FERN :
Step 1
It is important to use a sterile medium for ferns! Preferably use a new pot/tray ... or if you are using a container that has been used prior, scrub it with a 10% bleach solution to kill any pathogens. You can sterilise your soil (medium) by heating it to 60°C/150°F. This can be achieved by putting your pre-moistened medium into a microwave or oven in a suitable container and checking with a meat thermometer that the above temperature has been reached all the way to the middle.
Step 2
Pour your medium into your new or cleaned pot/tray. If the medium is not moist enough, use a spray bottle of cooled boiled water to moisten. Place pot/tray into a large  zip lock bag, seal and allow to cool for an hour.
Step 3
Remove from zip lock once cooled and sprinkle spores sparsely over your medium. Try not to sow them too thickly as they will overcrowd each other. Replace zip lock bag and reseal to retain the humidity and moisture needed to promote germination. Place on a partially sunny windowsill, not in direct sunlight. Ideal germination temperature is 17-22°C/65-75°F, germination takes 2-6 weeks.

Step 4
At first you will notice a moss type green film growing over the surface of the medium, following this you will see your little ferns beginning to develop! Continue maintaining the moist, humid environment inside the zip lock bag until the sporophytes (young ferns) are 1-2 inches tall. At this stage they can be re-potted, however can survive happily in the above environment for 12 months! When transplanting, keep in similar conditions with each fern in its own zip lock bag for two weeks before opening the bag and allowing the sporophytes to slowly acclimatise to the outside environment over a week or so. Final position should be in partial shade. Keep protected from cold wind and frost while young during their first winter. If no young ferns are evident after 12 weeks, try watering with a diluted liquid fertiser (1/4 the normal plant dose) often this will encourage sperm release and fertilisation.
