Cultivation Details
Angiopteris fokiensis is found in southern China from the warm tropical zone to the tropics of Hainan Island. It can be grown outdoors in the mildest areas of the temperate zone, but would need greenhouse protection elsewhere.
Propagation
Spores - this method is often unreliable because the spore needs a mycorrhizal association to produce germination. Sowing the spores in the soil around a healthy plant sometimes produces good results[1]. Division of offsets - these are produced at the base of the ligules. Use a sharp knife and cut them from close to the rhizome of the parent plant and half bury them in a 50/50 mix of moist peat and sand. Keep in a moist environment (such as a closed frame) until buds and then roots and shoots develop, which c take several months. Pot each plant up in its entirity and plant out when fully established.
