Staghorn Fern on Volcanic Rock (Platycerium bifuccatum)
This Staghorn fern is mounted on a sustainably-harvested volcanic rock and makes an easy-care house plant. Place the rock in a saucer of water and keep a small amount of water in the saucer at all times for optimum plant health. The fern is so-named since its leaves resemble a stag's antlers. A flat leaf, or shield, covers the root structure, and takes up water and nutrients. In time, the shield will completely cover the rock. The "staghorn" fronds will grow to 18" tall.
Hardy to Zone 10 and higher for outdoors.
Partial sun or shade, grows to 12-18" in container, minimum temperature indoors 60°.
