This one is a slightly older Staghorn that is mounted and already developed with some basal fronds (the circular leaves that form at the base of the staghorn that start out green but may turn brown over time). The Staghorn is mounted on a raw edge piece of wood and attached with Sphagnum moss fishing wire and nails to create a vertical hanging environment where the staghorns love and thrive. Each of these is slightly different due to its hand-finished nature and will work well in any room with regular misting. You could hang on your wall for a year or two before requiring a larger space, as these can get rather large over time.

Please cover or bring it indoors during cold temperatures as it is sensitive to freezing temperatures. 

Each piece of wood and Staghorn varies in size but is approximately 8-12 inch in rectangular wood, and some fronds are up to 12 inches long. If you need exact sizing after placing your order, we can message you what we have available for you to select the best fit. 

Staghorn's are used to tropical climates where they receive regular rainwater and humidity. Please ensure water gets thoroughly through the sphagnum moss (if mounted) or around the coconut (if grown inside one) or in the soil at least once a week - drier climates need more. Using spring or rainwater is preferred.

As an epiphytic plant (one that grows on something, like a rock or tree bark), they get nutrients from the air and decomposition of natural material around them. We need to supplement their feeding during the Spring and Summer months, An even liquid fertilizer is preferred, such as a 10:10:10. We also have a slow-release fertilizer basket available that makes adding nutrients easy. Many people like to feed their staghorn with banana peels under the shield leaves as an easy, natural and organic feeding solution.

For added humidity, our Lyfe Rose Gold Signature Mister will make a perfect addition to your plant shelf for both function and beauty. We also recommend adding our Plant Shield & Shine to your order for routine maintenance and pest prevention.

Thank you for a wonderful plant

I rarely write reviews but I was very surprised by how wonderful the fern I got is. It is bigger and more beautiful than the images. It was well packaged. I can’t believe what a good deal this was.

Packaging

I live in CT, and we're having a cold snap right now. I didn't request an insulated bag or heat pack and they added them at no charge. I'm incredibly impressed with the care they take in packing. The plant is beautiful as well.

Better than expected!

We bought a Mounted Staghorn Fern on Cypress Wood for your son-in-law's birthday. I was having a hard time finding one that was a good size and beautifully presented.....until a found a GORGEOUS one at Verdant Lyfe! They promised me that it would be beautiful, but it turned out to be even better than expected! It arrived very carefully packed, and as soon as he took it out of the box it began to flourish! Thank you for keeping your promise, Verdant Lyfe! I've attached a picture of our very happy and surprised son-in-law with his new "friend"!
