STAGHORN FERN 6 IN.

Imagine a living piece of art gracing your wall! The Staghorn Fern, with its uniquely shaped fronds resembling the antlers of a deer, brings a touch of wild, natural elegance to your home. These fascinating epiphytes, meaning they naturally grow on other plants in the wild, are typically mounted on wood or grown in hanging baskets, making them a striking focal point.

The size of a Staghorn Fern can vary greatly depending on the species and its age, but indoor specimens can easily reach two to three feet in width and length. They thrive in bright, indirect light, mimicking the dappled sunlight they'd receive in their native tropical forests. Interestingly, Staghorn Ferns are generally considered non-toxic to pets, making them a safe and stylish addition to homes with furry friends.

To keep your Staghorn Fern happy, whether mounted or in a basket, use Watters Premium Mulch around its base or within its moss-filled mount. This helps retain the moisture it needs. Water thoroughly when the mounting board or the top of the soil feels dry. These ferns also appreciate humidity, so occasional misting is beneficial, especially in our drier Prescott air. During the growing season (spring and summer), give it a gentle feeding every month or two with Watters 7-4-4 All-Purpose Plant Food diluted to half strength. With its sculptural beauty and relatively easy care, the Staghorn Fern is a truly unique and rewarding plant to grow! #StaghornFern #Epiphyte #LivingWallArt #WattersMulch #PlantFood
