Add a statement plant to your space with the Staghorn Fern, known for its dramatic, antler-like fronds. This unique epiphytic fern grows naturally on trees, making it ideal for mounting on wood or displaying in hanging baskets. Its sculptural appearance and air-purifying qualities make it a stunning feature in any plant collection.
This variety is not only visually striking but also low-maintenance. Perfect for homes, offices, or terrarium and vivarium environments, especially when you’re looking for something a bit different. It is well suited to vertical displays, green walls, or being mounted as living art.
Quick Care Guide

🌱 Extra Tip: Grows well mounted on bark or wood. Use sphagnum moss to anchor and maintain moisture.
Terrarium & Vivarium Friendly
