Staghorn Fern Care | How to Grow Staghorn Fern
04.07.2023 - 14:59 / balconygardenweb.com
With deep green flat leaves, the Platycerium bifurcatum makes for a great looking houseplant that’s also quite easy to grow. Here’s all you need to know about Staghorn Fern Care.
The staghorn fern (Platycerium genus) is a beautiful looking plant. It was previously considered difficult to grow, but now it is quite popular.
They have two different leaves (fronds) types–sterile shield fronds that are rounded in outline, and fertile fronds, which are branched like the horns of a reindeer.
Also known as elkhorn ferns, they include 18 species that are easy to grow. The leaves come in a range of sizes and shapes; the fertile fronds can reach up to 2-3 feet in length.
You can propagate staghorn fern by side shoots or spores. Small ‘chunks’ that have a leaf and a bit of root ball can be potted separately, and large ferns can be divided into small plants. The simplest method is growing from the side shoots.
The pups develop from the base of the mother plant. You can take them out individually and plant them in pots filled with peat moss. Large pups can be grown in a wooden plaque or in a basket of sphagnum moss.
Ferns do not propagate from seeds and do not flower. They grow from spores, which look like patches of brown color under the leaves. Scrape them gently using a knife and sow them in a pot filled with peat moss or moist sterile potting soil. Press them gently and cover the pot or growing tray with a piece of glass and place it in a dark area with a temperature around 50-78 F (10-26 C).
Requirements for Growing Staghorn Ferns
Staghorn ferns prefer bright, indirect light. If kept well-watered in a warm, humid place, they can withstand more sunlight. Just make sure that the plant is not exposed to the direct, harsh sun.
