les Posted July 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 Hi Jarrod With the Java fern I cut off a frond and make about five fine slits with a scalple along the main vein on the upper side (Not from behind) but not compleatly through this shocks it into producing small leaflet and then roots apear about four weeks later leave the its a slow process but dont be tempted to make too many slits as it will just die and leave the frond with the fernlets on untill they are well established It has worked so far Cheers Les Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
