They like lower or medium light and moderate moisture. In their natural habitat, they're epiphytic, meaning they grow in trees. To mimic this way of growing, they can be mounted and hung up! • What you'll need: • 4” or 6” potted staghorn fern • mounting board • 8 stainless steel nails • 12 lb gauge fishing line • potting soil • sheet moss • Here's the process: • Soak the moss in water and set aside. • On the mounting board, trace a circle two inches larger than the staghorn pot. Evenly hammer the nails around the circle. • Remove the staghorn from the container and place it in the center of the circle. Break up the root ball so the plant sits against the mounting board easily. Add or remove soil to make sure all the roots are covered around the edges. • Squeeze excess water from the moss and lay over the soil to completely cover. • Knot the fishing line around one nail. Make crisscross patterns with the fishing line until the moss and fern feel secure. Knot off the exposed end of the fishing line. • Other notes: • If you're hanging the fern outside, place in a shaded location out of direct wind. • The fern wants moderate moisture, but allow to dry out slightly between waterings. • Fertilize once a month with all-purpose fertilizer! • #staghorn #ferns #houseplants #indoorplants
