Staghorn fern, also known as Regal elkhorn, Superb staghorn, Elkhorn fern
Staghorn fern is an epiphytic fern that thrives in humid environments with indirect, bright light. Special care involves mimicking its natural attachment to trees by mounting staghorn fern on a wooden plaque or situating it within a well-draining basket. Watering directly into its central cup and misting the surrounding air are essential to maintain proper moisture levels, particularly in dry indoor conditions. Monitoring for appropriate humidity and avoiding waterlogged soil are pivotal for staghorn fern's successful cultivation.
