I studied biology and one thing I like about ferns is that they have these “dots” under their “leaves” that once mature drops a powder of spores that creates new ferns… Don’t ask me why I like it, I just do. I find it simple and to the point. You can simply leave a pot with earth under a fern and then you will find a baby developing there. Just like magic, and very elegant.
