Our beautiful rooted Staghorn Fern is available in 4-inch size. Staghorn Fern, scientifically named Platycerium, is a remarkable fern cherished for its distinctive fronds and growth pattern. Staghorn Fern has two types of fronds - sterile and fertile fronds. The sterile fronds are flat, shield-shaped, and resemble the antlers of a stag or deer, which is how they got their common name. These fronds are usually green and grow outward to capture sunlight and rainwater. Fertile fronds, on the other hand, are brown and appear as tufts or masses near the center of the plant. Staghorn Fern is easy-care, pet-friendly, tolerant of low-light conditions and perfect for beginners. Light/Soil/Water: + Bright, indirect light. + Epiphytic mix, which is typically a combination of sphagnum moss, orchid bark, and a small amount of potting soil or well-rotted compost. + Water when the top few inches of the mounting material or potting mix feels dry.
