MOUNTED STAGHORN FERN

ABOUT ME

I’m a staghorn fern mounted on wood! Like air plants, I’m an epiphyte, which literally translates to “upon a plant.” In nature I use my roots to anchor and climb on other trees, and I absorb water and nutrients through my fronds (aka my leaves!).  I fancy myself ‘living art’, as I’m often found mounted on wood and mixed into a gallery wall.

THE LIGHT I LIKE  

I love many hours of bright, filtered light, but must be protected from harsh, direct sun or my fronds will burn.

HOW MUCH I DRINK 

Fully submerge me in water for 10-20 minutes weekly, fully saturating my root ball and leaves. I especially love bathrooms and enjoy frequent mistings!
