Platycerium bifurcatum - Staghorn Fern

Description

These epiphytes are found in nature growing high in trees in order to gather adequate light. They receive the nutrients they need from the air and water. In a cultivated setting they do best when watered every few days in the heat of summer and about once a week or so in winter. They do best in bright but not direct sunlight and benefit from good air circulation and a temperature that does not go below 35 degrees F.
