Ramet time of antler fern

The best time for antler fern branching is early spring. At this time, it has just thawed and the temperature is appropriate. The growth of antler fern is relatively vigorous. It is a good time for branching. At this time, the wound left by the branching is easy to heal, and the rooting is relatively vigorous, which improves the survival rate of antler fern after branching.

Specific steps of antler fern ramet

Firstly, knock out the mother plant from the flower pot, remove some excess soil, and trim the withered and necrotic branches. The roots of antler fern should also be trimmed to cut off those too long and too dense fibrous roots, and then cut them into two or three with a knife. If the antler fern is large, it can also be divided into four or five, which should be flexible, depending on the situation. In addition, it should be noted that a part of soil should be left at the root of each plant, so that it is easier to survive. Plant the divided antler fern in the flowerpot as an individual, and keep the soil in the flowerpot loose and breathable, with sufficient nutrients.

Maintenance of antler fern after ramet

After planting, the antler fern should first be watered enough, then placed in a cool and humid environment for maintenance, and watered and fertilized regularly. The watering cycle is uncertain. It can be watered twice or three times a day in summer and reduced appropriately in winter. The fertilization cycle is generally once a half month. It can take root in three to four weeks under normal circumstances.
