elkhorn fern
 

I just got some Elkhorn ferns from my mother. I decided, instead of
puttying them on a board, as usual, I put them around a wire hanging. It
looks pretty good. Afterwards I thought - I'll never be able to get them
off when they need to be separated. Then I decided it wouldn't matter
anyway, or I could just cut through them from the outside.

What are you thoughts?

sounds good to me jen,

if you put the elks on the outside of the wire then i can't see too
much difficulty later removng them.

Actually I pushed the root bits, and centre bits through the wire to hold it
more thoroughly. But even so, by the time they've grown enough separate
them, I would probably need to cut them from the outside anyway, and it
looks so good, I think I will leave it. In fact I might see if I can get
more to do the same thing.

Thanks

Even if they are on the inside, they will eventually take over and cover the
wire basket completely.

I have one on a piece of 4 by 2 and it looks marvellous. the clump has gone
around in a circle. Taking pups off is always a hit and miss affair as mine
tend to grow through the parents dead bits. Then they take forever to get to
anything.

Cheers

So would that be a good thing, or a bad thing?

Sorry Jen, been on holidays. It a good thing, you will still be able to
harvest it for ups. They look great hanging under a pergola.

Mostly random synapses, tempered by the inhibited reuptake of serotonin
