staghorn fern

Staghorn Fern is a unique tropical plant admired for its dramatic, antler-shaped fronds that create a bold, sculptural look. Native to rainforests, it naturally grows attached to trees, absorbing moisture and nutrients from the air. Its distinctive growth habit makes it perfect for mounting on walls or displaying in hanging baskets.

    Houseplant.

care

Ferns love medium light; they do not do well when place in direct sunlight since their tender fronds burn. Place them in an area where they can enjoy dappled light protected by a curtain or blinds.  Mist the plants occasionally if the environment is dry, this will help avoid brown tips on the fronds.  Water ferns consistently since they will quickly decline if the soil is left to dry out. Fertilize the ferns monthly with a fertilizer for house plants.  Prune yellowing leaves as needed.
