Staghorn Fern (Platycerium)

$20.00

Staghorn Fern (Platycerium)

Unlike most houseplants, Staghorn Ferns don't grow in soil. In nature, they attach themselves to trees, using their unique shield fronds to collect water and nutrients while their dramatic antler-like fronds reach outward as they grow.

Their sculptural form and natural mounting habit make them one of the most striking and conversation-worthy plants you can own. Whether displayed on a wall, mounted to wood, or grown in a hanging basket, a Staghorn Fern brings a living piece of the rainforest into your home.

Plant Care

  • ☀️ Bright, indirect light

  • 💧 Water thoroughly, then allow to partially dry before watering again

  • 💦 Thrives in higher humidity

  • 🌿 Perfect for mounting or displaying in hanging baskets

Staghorn Ferns are slow-growing, long-lived plants that become more impressive with age, often developing into spectacular specimens that can be enjoyed for decades.

💚 Stem & Sound Tip

Those round "shield" fronds at the base aren't dead leaves—don't remove them! They protect the plant and help it collect moisture and nutrients, just like it would growing on a tree in the wild.

Talk to me about what materials we use to mount these puppies, happy to share that process with you before buying.
