The XL Staghorn Fern (Platycerium bifurcatum), known for its uniquely shaped fronds that resemble deer antlers, is an eye-catching and exotic epiphyte. This large variant offers an impressive display with its expansive fronds, making it a stunning addition to any indoor or outdoor space where it can be properly showcased. Here’s a detailed description and care guide for the XL Staghorn Fern, Platycerium bifurcatum:
Description
The XL Staghorn Fern features two types of fronds: the basal (shield) fronds, which are flat and round, covering the roots and helping to attach the fern to its support structure; and the foliar (antler) fronds, which are long, bifurcated, and resemble stag antlers. These ferns are typically mounted on wooden plaques or hung in baskets, allowing their dramatic fronds to hang freely, creating a natural, lush display.
Care Guide
Light
Staghorn Ferns prefer bright, indirect light. They can tolerate some morning sun or dappled light but should be protected from harsh direct sunlight, which can burn their fronds. An east-facing window or a shaded south or west-facing window is ideal.
Water
Water your Staghorn Fern by soaking the entire plant and mounting board in water, allowing it to fully hydrate, then letting it drain completely. This should be done approximately once a week in warmer months and less frequently in cooler months, depending on your home’s humidity levels. Mist the fronds regularly to maintain humidity.
Soil
As epiphytes, Staghorn Ferns do not grow in soil but may be mounted on wood or contained in a coarse, well-draining epiphytic mix if placed in a basket. They thrive when mounted on organic materials like tree bark or moss, which can help retain moisture around the roots.
Temperature and Humidity
These ferns prefer temperatures between 15 to 24 degrees Celsius and high humidity. They should be kept away from cold drafts and heating or cooling vents. If the air in your home is dry, maintain higher humidity with regular misting or using a humidifier.
Fertiliser
Fertilise your Staghorn Fern every month during the growing season with a diluted, balanced, water-soluble fertiliser. Apply the fertiliser to the roots and the base of the fronds. Reduce feeding during the winter months.
Pruning
Pruning is generally not necessary for health but can be done to remove dead or dying fronds to keep the plant looking tidy and healthy. Be cautious not to damage the shield fronds, as they are vital for the plant's health and growth.
Pests and Diseases
Staghorn Ferns can be susceptible to scale insects and mealybugs. Check the undersides of the fronds regularly for pests and treat infestations with insecticidal soap or neem oil. Overwatering or poor air circulation can lead to fungal infections.
The XL Staghorn Fern is an extraordinary plant that adds a dramatic and tropical flair to any setting. Its care requirements are relatively straightforward, focusing on mimicking its natural humid, forested environment. With proper care, this fern can become a focal point in your home or garden, providing an impressive display of nature's artistry.
