California Tropicals 4'' Staghorn Fern

About this item

• Watering: Staghorn ferns require specific watering methods. They like to be watered by soaking the root ball or misting the fronds instead of watering the soil. Excess water can cause root rot, so it's essential to let the root ball dry slightly before watering again.
• Epiphytic Nature: Staghorn ferns are epiphytes, which means they grow on other plants or objects without being parasitic. They typically attach themselves to trees or rocks using their roots, but they don't take nutrients from their host.
• Air Purification: Like many other ferns, staghorn ferns are excellent air purifiers. They can help remove toxins from the air, making them a beneficial addition to indoor spaces.
• Distinctive Fronds: The name "staghorn fern" comes from the unique shape of its fronds, which resemble the antlers of a stag. There are two types of fronds: sterile shield fronds, which are flat and shield-like, and fertile fronds, which are antler-like and produce spores.
• Light Requirements: These ferns thrive in bright, indirect light. They prefer filtered sunlight or dappled shade rather than direct sunlight, which can scorch their fronds.
