Read about Angiopteris in the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture
Angiopteris (Greek, vessel-fern). Marattiaceae. An Old World genus of coarse greenhouse ferns, with twice- or thrice-pinnate Lvs., and the large fleshy sporangia arranged in boat-shaped marginal sori. In cult., requires plenty of room and abundant drainage. Angiopteris grows wild in swampy places, and is of robust habit. If grown in pots, the pots may stand in 2 or 3 inches of water. Although spores are freely produced, no seedlings are on record. Easily propagated by the fleshy scales at the base of each frond. Each scale contains at least two dormant buds, and should not be divided. They may be laid in sand, covered with sphagnum, and kept in a close case for three to five months. They start more quickly in early spring. (Schneider, Book of Choice Ferns.) The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
