Characteristics
The Platycerium bifurcatum, also known as a Staghorn Fern, is a distinctive epiphytic species that produces leathery, forked fronds resembling the horns of a stag and are covered in a velvety covering of white hairs.
How to Care for Staghorn Ferns
- Light: Bright indirect light. Direct light will burn this plant.
- Water Preferences: This epiphytic plant absorbs water as readily through the leaves as it does the roots and loves to be misted frequently. Keep soil evenly moist. To water your Staghorn fern thoroughly, submerge it in water.
- Special Care/Notes: The perfect balance of water for this plant might be tricky to find, as it is sensitive to over and underwatering. Once the shield front emerges from the base of the plant, do not, under any circumstances remove it. Even if it’s brown, let another one grow back before removing the old one. Gorgeous plant for the bathroom as it loves moisture!

"We were really happy with the help & service we got from Wyatt, Braden & Dradon. We had to make two trips when trying to decide what tree were going to buy due to HOA rules/restrictions. Wyatt went over everything that would probably be acceptable and he had Braden work with us to show us around. Braden was super helpful, very friendly and he made us laugh even when we felt frustrated with the restrictions of HOA! Dradon planted the tree for us. He is really nice and went the extra mile to walk me through how to maintain the tree and help it thrive! I would highly recommend Bath Garden Center & Nursery because they really try to help their customers, spend time explaining what is best for you and walking you through how to maintain it appropriately!! I would give all three of them 10 stars if it was possible!!! Thank you so much for your help!!!!"
