Physically, Staghorn Ferns display two distinct leaf forms: the sterile fronds that resemble broad antlers and the fertile fronds which are round and compact, housing spores for reproduction. The sterile fronds can extend up to three feet, showcasing the plant’s unique silhouette. Over several growing seasons, these fronds build up, creating a natural sponge that holds water for the plant during dry times and also catches falling debris, providing nutrients as it decays.

Ensuring Staghorn’s Vigor

To boost the survival rate of Staghorn Ferns, it’s crucial to provide bright, indirect light, ensuring the base dries out between waterings to prevent root rot. Maintain humidity levels similar to a tropical forest by misting the plant or using a humidifier. Protect the fern from harsh direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, which can stress the plant. Fertilize monthly during the growing season with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer to promote healthy growth.
