Staghorn Fern
The Staghorn Fern is a unique epiphytic plant belonging to the genus Platycerium. It is known for its distinctive, antler-like fronds that resemble the horns of a stag. These ferns thrive in tropical and subtropical regions, often growing on trees in their natural habitat. They can be mounted on wood or grown in hanging baskets, making them popular in indoor gardening.
Staghorn ferns require indirect sunlight and high humidity to flourish. They absorb moisture and nutrients from the air and rain, rather than from soil. Regular misting and occasional fertilization help maintain their health, making them a fascinating addition to any plant collection.
