What is a Staghorn Fern?
Staghorn ferns are epiphytic plants, like an air plant. This means that in their natural habitat they grow in the nooks and crannies of another tree. Imagine them nestled high up in the rainforest!
These plants can also be lithophytes, which means they grow in nooks or cracks in rocks (as opposed to trees).
Because of this, these plants don't actually need to be planted in soil to live.
The staghorn fern has two types of leaves: the

Staghorn ferns have two kinds of fronds. The foliar fronds are the long, bright-green fronds that grow in an often arch-like curve. The basal fronds are the round shield-like ones that grow in layers and protect the roots and rhizome.
In the wild, staghorns are epiphytes and attach themselves to trees to grow. They get their moisture from rain, humitidy and dew absorbed by their foliar fronds and roots. You can grow your own staghorn either mounted to wood and other objects or in well-draining soil.
Watering Your Staghorn Fern
If you grow your fern attached to wood or mounted to another object, then it will need daily mistings in order to absorb enough water through its fronds and roots.
If your Staghorn is potted in soil, make sure it is well-draining and that your pot has drainage holes in the bottom. Let your staghorn dry out between waterings and never let it sit in soggy soil!

Staghorn bärnsten (Platycerium spp.) Är frost-anbud växter som är epifytiska, eller växer på en annan växt. Staghorn breggar växer fast på trummor av regnskog eller i tråd eller träkorgar i trädgårdarna av växtentusiaster. Dessa ormbunkar är minimala och bladens klustermassa håller sig fast vid en yta, samlar regnvatten och näringsämnen från damm, fallande bladskräp och döda insekter. Användning av utspädd flytande gödningsmedel eller tillfällig deponering av ruttande frukt eller kompost är allt som behövs för att bibehålla dem.
Köp ett flytande gödselmedel med en allmän näringsämne. Produkten kan vara i flytande form eller i vattenlösliga kristaller och måste ha makronäringsämnena kväve, fosfor och kalium samt ett brett utbud av mikronäringsämnen.
Blanda gödselmedlet med 1/4 hållfasthet enligt beskrivningen av produktens anvisningar. Till exempel, om en dos normalt görs genom att tillsätta 1 tsk. gödselmedel till 1 liter vatten, 1/4 styrdoseringen görs genom tillsats av endast 1/4 tsk. gödselmedel till gallon av vatten.
Häll eller spruta gödselmedelslösningen på alla delar av stagorns bägare, inklusive bladmassan och bladens löv utskjutande och dangli
