4” Staghorn Fern
Staghorn Fern Platycerium spp. — 4" Pot
Staghorn Fern Platycerium spp. — 4" Pot
One of the most unique and architectural plants you'll find, the Staghorn Fern earns its name from its striking, antler-shaped fronds that fan out with wild, sculptural drama. Whether you keep it in its pot now or eventually mount it on a board or basket down the road, this conversation-starting plant is anything but ordinary.
Care Tips
Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light. A spot near a window with filtered light is ideal. Avoid prolonged direct sun, which can scorch the fronds.
Water: Staghorns are epiphytes — in nature they grow on trees, not in soil. Water thoroughly when the growing medium feels dry, and allow it to drain completely. Never let it sit in standing water. In summer, you may need to water more frequently.
Humidity: Loves humidity. Mist the fronds occasionally or place it in a naturally humid spot like a bright bathroom.
Temperature: Happy in typical indoor temperatures between 60–80°F. Keep away from cold drafts and air conditioning vents.
Feeding: Fertilize once a month in spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer to encourage healthy frond growth.
Tips: Don't be alarmed by the flat, shield-shaped fronds at the base — those are called basal fronds, and they turn brown naturally over time. Leave them in place; they protect the root system!
A bold, one-of-a-kind plant for plant lovers and design enthusiasts alike. Stop in and take one home today.
