Common Names in South Africa: Staghorn Fern, Elk Horn Fern, Antelope Ears
Overview: Native to Australia and Southeast Asia, the Staghorn Fern is a striking epiphytic fern with antler-like, green fronds that grow from a basal shield. Perfect for mounting on boards or hanging baskets in South African homes, it thrives in bright, indirect light and high humidity, adding a bold, tropical flair.
Quirky Fact: Its fronds look like a deer's antlers, making it the plant world's trophy for jungle chic!
Care for Damaged Leaves: Trim damaged or brown fronds with clean scissors, avoiding healthy green fronds. With high humidity, proper light, and weekly soaking (for mounted ferns), recovery typically takes 35 weeks.
Safety Note: Non-toxic to pets and humans, making it a safe, family-friendly choice for plant lovers.
Availability: Available in 1215cm pots or mounted at nurseries like Plantify.co.za or Horti.co.za, with couriered delivery options.
