The Staghorn fern is an epiphytic fern, which means in the wild it typically grows on other things, like tree trunks or buildings. It comes planted in a container, but it can be affixed to planks and hung on a wall. Crazy, huh?
It will love living in your bathroom with all that humidity ... kinda spa-like, right? Or take it outside on your porch in the summer... unless you live in Florida and you can have it outside all year long... (lucky you!)
The staghorn fern is a true conversation starter. Its smooth velvety leaves are so unique and touchable. Mounted on a board, it can be hung on a sunny wall like a trophy you'll never get tired of seeing.
