Staghorn ferns are members of the fern family, Polypodiaceae, and belong to the genus Platycerium. In their native habitat they thrive as epiphytes, generally found growing on tree trunks, branches, or rock out-croppings. Staghorn ferns are tropical plants native to the Philippines, Southeast Asia, Indonesia, Australia, Madagascar, Africa and South America.
Generally, water thoroughly one to two times per week during warm weather and reduce the frequency during cloudy or cool weather. Staghorn ferns thrive best under shade or partially shaded conditions. Most staghorn ferns are considered tender or semi-tender and will not tolerate temperatures below 55°F.
These plants are in a 4 inch pot.
