    If you don't have experience with growing ferns from spores, access to spores of this species buy an existing, developed plant in a pot and expect to be overwintering it under cover.

    It will take a while for the spores to produce plants. You could buy a large tree fern at thimblefarms.com, the tree ferns are under "ferns".
