🌱 Care
Watering: Staghorn Ferns enjoy moisture but not overwatering. Water moderately, maintaining consistent root moisture.
Exposure: They require bright, diffused light, preferring semi-shaded spots.
Repotting: Repot in early spring when the plant is active. Use a larger pot as they tend to grow rapidly. Growing them on mounts is also possible and adds to their non-standard appearance. In their natural habitat, they attach to trees using moss and lichens.
Pests: Despite their resilience, they can be affected by spiders and aphids. Regularly check leaves for pests and take necessary action upon detection.
Staghorn Ferns make a wonderful addition to any interior space, adding exoticness and uniqueness. Dedicate attention and care to enjoy their beauty for a long time. 🌿🦌🍃
