They look like spores Levi ๐Ÿฅฐ Nothing to worry about AT ALL! it's how ferns reproduce... You might find little dusty patches on the surface under the plant soon but you can just brush them away (or try growing a new plant if you're REALLY keen! Lol ๐Ÿคฃ). That's a happy plant my friend ๐Ÿฅฐ xx
@JenniB81 how Can i grow a New plant?
Ooh.. I've never done it from fern spores tbh lol but it is totally possible!! If you have sori (those little lumps) you can have more ferns! ๐Ÿซฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ

It's apparently really easy too... It just takes a LONG time (but would be really rewarding! And you could have literally hundreds of free plants!! ๐Ÿฅณ). I found an article quite randomly and recently about doing just this! I'll just go find it .. xx
Aha... Here you go!

If you do try it PLEASE post updates?! (& Tag me! So I definitely see them!!). I'd really love to see how you get on ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿ’š my kangaroo paw fern is still recovering (he's a rescue plant and was in a really sorry state when I got him!) but I'm hoping to see Sori at dome point and will totally try it myself too! ๐Ÿ˜‰ Best of luck! Xxx
@JenniB81 Thank you! I will definitely post if I decide to reproduce it? ๐Ÿ˜
Fantastic! I'm glad I could help ๐Ÿฅฐ ooh go on, give it a go?! Lol you can never have too many plants after all... And FREE PLANTS are the best kind! Lol ๐Ÿ˜‚ xx
@JenniB81 The problem is that the only spores in my plant is the one i photographed. Compared to the pics on the website it's like nothint. But i will try and i hope it's enough
From what I understand you get LOADS of spores from each little sori (they look like dust they're so tiny! Lol) so I think even with just those few you'll have enough if you decide to try it ๐Ÿ’š I'm excited for you! I can't wait for Sherlock (my KPF) to produce some ๐Ÿฅฐ lol xx
