How do you add more plants to photo in Ps?

If I want to extend a patch of ferns in a photo, how do I take a sample in the photo and extend them down a path? I basically want to fill a bare area in a path.

There are different methods you can use, but a common way is with the clone stamp tool, working on a separate layer above the original. Set the tool hardness to about 34%, opacity and flow to 100%, mode normal, aligned checked (most of the time), sample=current & below, tool size as needed.
Set source point (alt-click) to plants near (or at least on the same focal plane and light conditions as) the area you want to cover. Then click and drag over the bare area to cover it with pixels copied from the source area.
The 'aligned' source will move as the cursor moves picking up different pixels to copy. So, you may need to make short brush strokes and re-sample often.

Select what you want to copy and move. Ctrl+J puts the selection on another layer. Move it to the area you wish to cover. Go Layer>Layer Mask>Hide All. Your copied layer disappears and you have a black mask on the layer. Select a soft brush and paint over the area you wish covered in white with the mask selected NOT the image. The area you copied will be painted into its new location. Try horizontally flipping it straight after you copy it to avoid repetition. Im assuming you have Photoshop. This often produces a more realistic result than the clone brush. Hope it made sense lol. PM me if you try it and get stuck.

Similar to what Billyspad says...You could also make a custom brush with a selected section of fern then just paint it in, or use the clone stamp....I caution repetition of texture with this or with clone stamp... a dead give away...use transform rotate, flip etc, to break it up..as already mentioned.

Hi Billly,
Have you figured out a way to flip a layer horizontally without flipping the entire image? I have been putting the copy-of on a separate new file, then flipping it and re-copying into the image because when I use image rotation all the layers flip.
