The Staghorn Fern is one of our favorite varieties of ferns thanks to its whimsical fronds that resemble antlers, hence its common name! Look very closely, and you may notice two distinct parts of the Staghorn: sporophytes (the stags) and gametophytes (the shields). Both play crucial roles in the epiphytic plant’s lifecycle.
Each plant is unique; size and shape fluctuate by season so all measurements are shown as a range
Small plant measures between 4-9" tall from the soil line to the top of the foliage

Plant Care
Thrives in medium to bright indirect light.
Water every 1-2 weeks, allowing soil to dry out half way down between waterings. Expect to water more often in brighter light and less often in lower light. This plant can benefit from extra humidity.
This is a pet friendly plant.
This species of epiphytic fern gets its name from its uniquely shaped fronds that resemble horns or antlers.
