"Plant the divisions to the same depth as the original plant, so the crown isn't buried too deep or too shallow," says Irish-Hanson. Burying the crown too deep can cause the fern to rot, but ...

A plant cutting is a piece of a plant that is used in horticulture for vegetative (asexual) propagation. A piece of the stem or root of the source plant is placed in a suitable medium such as moist soil. If the conditions are suitable, the plant piece will begin to grow as a new plant independent of the parent, a process known as striking.
