So this was really a challenge and I dutifully report success! It was the first time that I did spore germination and the whole process really surprised me. Anyway, just to be sure, I started two containers and there are already 3 millimeters sized plants in both of them. I'm looking forward to when they grow, but I can definitely confirm from my own experience as an amateur that the whole process really requires a lot of patience. Fertilization and germination alone took almost 4 months. Well thank you!
