Seed Information

Seed Collection

Sporangia produced within specialised cone-like structures called stroboli.

Seed Treatment Notes

Extremely difficult to propagate from spores because it has a symbiotic relationship with a fungus in the gametophyte stage.

Cutting & Division Information

Can be propagated by division of the rhizomes providing the divisions are not too small.
