Mounted Staghorn Fern

Scientific name: Platycerium bifurcatum

This epiphytic tree dwelling plant gets its name from the curious shaped leaves. It actually has two leaf types, one shaped like stag's horn and one shaped like a round shield, which grows towards the base. The result is a beautiful living sculpture. 

This plant comes mounted on a piece of wood with either a 4 inch or 6 inch Staghorn. 

Care tips:

-Ideal light: Bright, indirect light.

-Watering: Allow the top of the soil + moss to dry out, soak 1x a week + mist of added moisture
