Unit price perPlatycerium superbum, or Staghorn Fern, is an evergreen, epiphytic fern with large, upright, rounded to kidney-shaped, green fronds and long, wedge-shaped, forked, leathery, bright green fertile fronds. The fern resembles a collection of antlers (hence the name), that grow from a central crown or nest of fronds. This crown collects leaf litter and dead insects, which feed the plant. The staghorn is one of the most prominent and stunning features of our native rainforest. Protect from drying winds and do not overwater your fern. Feed with a liquid fertilizer during the warmer months.
