Default Re: Greetings from Singapore

Sounds like you've 'caught the bug' yourself! I have had the same experience with ridleyii and 'contamination' spores. I really try to be careful about contaminating my germination boxes but still get weird ferns sprouting in them anyway! I've now started collecting spores from various tree ferns and a few other genus of ferns. It's a slow process but one that can really turn out the numbers of plants over time. I'm still waiting to see if they are 'real' or not but seem to have had great luck with elephantotis spores (I think!).
