I googled this quite a bit but can't find the answer. Where I live different types of fern grow in the wilderness and I like to grow them at home. I've cut a branch a few times and planted it in a pot or in a vase of water but each time it died. This time I immersed the branch in a bucket of water (although some of it stayed outside) and it seems to be dying again. So I don't know what to do. I know that using spores takes a long time so am looking for an alternative.
