Key Benefits

What You See Is What You Get:** Unlike standard nursery listings that show a representative sample, this listing is for the specific individual plant shown. You can select this fern based on its unique growth pattern and current condition.

Living Wall Art:** With their architectural structure, Staghorn Ferns are prized in interior design. They serve as stunning focal points when mounted on wooden boards, creating a natural, gallery-like aesthetic on any wall.

Epiphytic Growth:** Naturally growing on trees in the wild, these plants do not require heavy soil. This makes them lightweight and versatile for creative displays, such as hanging baskets, moss poles, or vertical gardens.

Air Purifying Qualities:** Like many indoor ferns, this specimen contributes to a healthier indoor environment by helping to filter air and increase humidity levels in your living space.

Key Specs

Plant Variety:** Staghorn Fern (*Platycerium* species)

Listing Type:** Individual Specimen (The item pictured is the item for sale)

Growth Medium:** Typically grown in sphagnum moss or similar epiphytic mix (refer to images for current potting status)

How to Care & Display

Lighting:** Place in bright, indirect light. An east or west-facing window is ideal. Avoid harsh, direct mid-day sun, which can scorch the delicate fronds.

Watering:** These ferns absorb moisture through their fronds and roots. Water when the moss base feels dry to the touch. The most effective method is often to take the plant to a sink or shower and gently soak the root ball/mounting medium, allowing it to drain fully before rehanging.

Mounting:** If not already mounted, this fern is ready to be attached to a decorative cedar or teak board using fishing line and sphagnum moss, or placed in a wire basket lined with coconut coir.

Care & Safety

Temperature Sensitivity:** This is a tropical plant that thrives in temperatures between 60°F and 80°F. Ensure it is protected from frost, cold drafts, and heating vents.

Foliage Care:** Avoid wiping the fronds with a cloth. The leaves are covered in fine hairs (trichomes) that help the plant regulate moisture; rubbing them off can damage the plant's health.

Humidity:** High humidity is beneficial. If your home is dry, consider using a humidifier or misting the air around the plant regularly.
