Complete Care Guide

Light Requirements
  • Bright, indirect light promotes healthy antler frond development and robust growth
  • East or north-facing locations provide ideal growing conditions
  • Can tolerate some filtered morning sunlight
  • Avoid direct afternoon sunlight which can scorch the fronds
  • Perfect for bright bathrooms and naturally lit indoor walls
Unique Watering & Mounting
  • Soak the mounting medium thoroughly, then allow to drain - mimics natural rainfall
  • Water by soaking or misting the shield fronds and mounting material
  • Typically water 1-2 times per week depending on humidity and mounting medium
  • Never water the center of shield fronds - this can cause rot
  • Use filtered or rainwater when possible to prevent mineral buildup
Humidity & Temperature
  • Moderate to high humidity: 50-70% for optimal frond development and health
  • Temperature range: 60-80°F (15-27°C) with good air circulation
  • Benefits from good air movement around the plant
  • Thrives in naturally humid bathrooms and kitchens
  • Avoid stagnant air which can lead to fungal problems
Mounting & Fertilizing
  • Mount on sphagnum moss, tree fern fiber, or cork bark for natural epiphytic growing
  • Secure with fishing line or soft ties until shield fronds attach naturally
  • Feed monthly by misting with very diluted liquid fertilizer
  • Can also be grown in hanging baskets with well-draining orchid mix
  • Never plant in regular potting soil - needs excellent drainage and aeration
Air Purification & Maintenance
  • Excellent air purifier with large frond surface area for toxin removal
  • Never cut or remove shield fronds - they protect the plant and collect nutrients
  • Only trim damaged or completely brown fertile fronds at the base
  • Dust fronds gently with soft brush or cloth to maintain their health
  • Propagates through spores or by separating pups that develop at the base

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the two different types of fronds?
Staghorn Ferns have shield fronds (round, flat fronds that attach to surfaces and collect nutrients) and fertile fronds (the dramatic forked "antler" fronds that grow outward). Both are essential - never remove shield fronds even if they brown, as they protect the plant and collect nutrients naturally.
How do I mount my Staghorn Fern?
Mount on sphagnum moss, cork bark, or tree fern fiber using fishing line or soft ties. Position the plant so shield fronds can attach to the mounting surface. The plant will naturally grip the mount over time. Ensure good drainage and never bury the plant in soil.
Can I grow it in a regular pot?
While possible in hanging baskets with very chunky, well-draining orchid mix, Staghorn Ferns are naturally epiphytic and display best when mounted. Mounting allows for better air circulation, proper drainage, and showcases their natural growth habit beautifully.
Is this plant safe around pets and children?
Yes! Platycerium ferns are completely non-toxic to cats, dogs, and humans, making them perfect worry-free choices for families who want to enjoy their spectacular antler-shaped fronds and dramatic wall displays safely throughout their home.
How large will the antler fronds grow?
Fertile fronds can reach 2-3 feet in length when mature, creating an impressive display. Growth is slow but steady, and the dramatic size and distinctive forked shape make Staghorn Ferns some of the most impressive and recognizable houseplants available.

Large is a little big for Bostons
Color: Dogwood (Brown), Size: Large (Pack of 1)
Seems to be durable for 2 VERY agressive chewer Boston Terriers. Cricket and Alice are shockingly good at chewing - grateful they pick to do so with thier toys. Trial vs other name brand competitor. PetStages' is a little larger so harder to bite on fir small dogs, but seems to be equally durable. While PetStages proudly states it has real wood fiber and scent (whoch I thought would win)... they prefered the other. Both dogs love to chew on real sticks. But, when the bossy one indicated she was taking over the stick the other dog had, they exchanged, and kept chewing, over and over, back and forth. I mean to say, whatever the prefered stick was at first didnt seem to matter later. These super hard chew toys do make me nervous. One dog broke a tooth last summer on a different brand toy, a very expensive extraction bill, and poor pup's terrible discomfort... but the other did not and has amazing white teeth, all around.... so.

The best chew ever for a strong chewer
Color: Dogwood (Brown), Size: Large (Pack of 1)
We have a 77lb goldendoodle who loves these. We’re lucky because he doesn’t chew on anything other than his toys, but when he starts on this…he really goes at it. It’s healthy, (not synthetic), doesn’t break apart, (no pieces to worry about him swallowing), it just perfect for him. The noise may get on your nerves but it’s a small price to pay to keep him from chewing on your furniture, shoes, or anything else a mischievous dog can find.

Little pieces break off
Color: Dogwood (Brown), Size: Large (Pack of 1)
My dog is obsessed with this. It does last a long time even given her strong chewing capabilities. I wish it was a little bigger. The main reason I rated it so low is when my dog is chewing on this it breaks off a little plastic peice and sometimes it hits the back of her throat making her cough so you have to supervise with this.

Great for aggressive chewers
Color: Dogwood (Brown), Size: Large (Pack of 1)
My dog is an aggressive chewer so they are great for her. I would love to have one a bit thinner so it could fit in a holder so it is easier for her to hold while eating. This keeps her busy and is long lasting. I have purchased these multiple times.
