Adder's Tongue Fern

13 years ago

Does anyone have any experience transplanting Adder's Tongue Fern? (Ophioglossum vulgare) We have had more rain than usual, and I have tons of these plants popping up, even out in areas where they will be mowed or stepped on. I have always had a few, but today I noticed a huge number and would like to share with nearby friends if they can be potted up.

They are just an oddity, not really a garden plant.

If you still have these and are still interested in succulents (none of my ferns are of a 'divisible' size) please e-mail me and I'll send you a list of succulents I've available for trade. TIA!

I have found these Asplenium, like most, kinda fussy. Subject to scale, overwatering issues, etc. They will grow as an epiphyte as easily as in a pot. They like air circulation. They will grow in a brightly lit office.
