🌿 Care Tips:

• Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light; avoid prolonged harsh direct sunlight

• Water: Water thoroughly when the growing medium begins to dry, allowing excess water to drain away; avoid keeping the roots constantly wet

• Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity to support healthy frond development

• Temperature: Enjoys warm, stable indoor temperatures and protection from cold drafts

• Soil: Prefers a loose, airy and well-draining epiphytic growing medium, such as a mix containing orchid bark and sphagnum moss

Please Note: Frond shape, size, branching and overall fullness naturally vary between individual plants. The plant you receive may therefore differ slightly from the product image shown. Staghorn Ferns also develop rounded shield fronds around their base, which naturally turn brown and papery as they mature. This is a normal part of the plant's growth and these protective fronds should not be removed. 🌿
