I like to use the cut foliage in flower arrangements. It doesn't seem to be particular about soil. I have tried all types of ferns in my hot, shady Houston garden and this one has performed better than any others.

So i looked at the plant and there was a part that i could dig out. Me and my friend have been trying to propagate her ming fern for about 3 years and no luck.

Does anyone have a guess as to how deeply I dare cover the tubers? Will I be in trouble if I put dirt up farther on the stem so I can just cover the tubers that are on the surface? The trunk and stems are woody. read more oved it to a bright spot but no direct sunlight and it became a gorgeous dark green in no time at all. It was in moderate shade and tending to be a bit yellowish. I have gone 2 or 3 months between watering before (It has a porous fabric on top of the soil so that probably seals in the moisture a bit) and it doesn't seem very concerned about that at all. The foliage is very attractive, I just need to get mine to become a little denser which I am hoping the repotting will do. I think I'm going to try that when I repot it.
#Ming fern how to#
In response to how to propagate I thought I would just mention that it has tubers and I would think they could be easily propagated that way. It is badly in need of repotting as the tubers are thickly covering the soil. It had a sawed off trunk of about 2 1/2 inch diameter and side sprouts. I bought a small house 3 years ago and there is a potted ming fern there. On May 30, 2012, mommy115 from Morgan Hill, CA wrote: We really love the plant and would love for it to make it. If you could help to determine how to remedy the yellowing, that'd be great. So it seems to me it has fair amount of light, but may be I'm wrong.
#Ming fern windows#
The room has many large windows and no curtains. I place the Ming Fern against the wall in the north facing room. We live in Colorado and the air is SUPER dry here, but my other plants are doing ok nevertheless. When I got it the plant was already yellowing, but I bought it anyway as I loved the look.Īs I brought it home the yellowing worsened significantly. I just got my Ming fern at a local plant store.

Until the cats find them!.but always a new gopher to show up and test my yard and plants. Maybe too much shade,but I also think what has slowed its growth is that Gophers may find it. I've been growing one outdoors here in the SF eastbay where its perfectly hardy.

Also started growing in a hanging basket and it is really easy. Mine is planted in ground, part sun and does well. My plant is about 4 ft tall and has consistently widened via rhizomes. Is it a plant that is encouraged to grow from trimming? Does it do well with fertilizer, what kind?(I've been adding a little bit of liquid fertilizer with watering recently, baby bio). It's grown maybe 5 cm or so, adding quite a bunch of stalks, but they tend to be quite flimsy and stick out to the side very far. Does anyone have any particular tips for growing it fast and full? I've only had it since last autumn so it hasn't been through a growth spurt while I've had it yet. At the time this was the only size of Mingfern I could find, but I'm hoping to grow it into a beautiful tall and large potted version. I'm living in London and have a small (40cm tall) Mingfern in a 12cm wide pot.
