Low-Maintenance Elegance: Caring for Your Staghorn Fern
The Staghorn Fern is a visual delight, and luckily, it doesn’t require too much to thrive! Bright, indirect light is its best friend, but it can tolerate some shade, making it versatile for different areas of your home. Keep the growing medium or plank moist by soaking it in water about once a week. High humidity is preferred, but it can adapt to moderate levels. With occasional feeding and a little love, your fern will flourish, turning any space into a lush, green oasis.

Fun Fern Fact: Your Fern is a True Epiphyte!
Unlike most houseplants, the Staghorn Fern doesn’t grow in soil. Instead, it’s an epiphyte, which means it naturally grows on other plants or surfaces in the wild. Mounted on wood mimics its natural habitat, where it would attach to trees in tropical forests!
A Fern With History: Origins in Asia & Australia
The Staghorn Fern hails from the tropical rainforests of Asia and Australia, where it thrives in the high canopies of trees. Its distinctive fronds mimic the antlers of a stag, giving it both its common name and its unique, sculptural look. Used in homes for generations, it’s a beloved choice for those wanting to bring an exotic, natural touch indoors.

Will my plant look like the one on the website?
Awesome question, we're glad you asked. Given the nature of our plant shop, we're constantly moving plants in and out of the shop, making it difficult and borderline impossible to keep an exact picture of each plant. In addition to the constantly rotating crop, we often grow in batches of 6, 12, or sometimes more! With this quantity we are unable to take a photo of each and every plant. The photos that we attach to each product listing is going to be of a plant that represents the average size and fullness of that set of plants. Some may be slightly larger or smaller, but in general, similar.

We offer Heat Packs for sale separately from the plants in 40, 60 and 72 hour increments.

We are not responsible for orders that are placed and damage is incurred to the plant if a heat pack is not purchased.
