The name \u003cem\u003ebifurcatum \u003c\/em\u003emeans forked, referring to the leaves that split and resemble stag or elk horns. It can grow up to 31-35 in tall and wide, and care is easy as long as they're provided with low to medium light and moderate moisture like most \u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eferns.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eStaghorn ferns prefer to be kept in a location that boasts consistent, shaded light. That being said, they can handle more sunlight if given enough water, warmth, and humidity. Just be cautious about allowing any direct rays to hit the fragile fronds, as they can burn easily.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eThough young ferns may be started in a moist traditional \u003ca data-ordinal=\"1\" data-type=\"internalLink\" data-source=\"inlineLink\" data-component=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thespruce.com\/potting-soil-indoor-plants-container-plants-1902802\" style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003epotting mixture\u003c\/a\u003e, staghorn ferns should be mounted once they progress toward maturity. Staghorn ferns are epiphytes, growing on the sides of trees or other plants in the wild, and will therefore thrive in similar conditions in your home. To mount, you'll need a starting lump of peat, \u003ca data-ordinal=\"2\" data-type=\"internalLink\" data-source=\"inlineLink\" data-component=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thespruce.com\/how-to-compost-easy-steps-1708698\" style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003ecompost\u003c\/a\u003e, moss, or other organic matter to act as the base, but beyond that should not need additional soil.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eProper watering is an essential component of a staghorn fern's success. They'll need frequent watering, but the base should be allowed to dry out in between—about once a week in warmer climates or during the summer months, and once every two to three weeks in cooler months. For easy watering, remove your fern and its mounting from the wall (or wherever it's hung) and soak it in a sink filled with water for 10 to 20 minutes, or until the roots are fully saturated. Allow to drip dry before rehanging.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PlantersWPersonality","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45215714050332,"sku":"5714050332","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0752\/7225\/7820\/files\/gbn05ynq.png?v=1684509795","url":"https:\/\/carlyzcollection.myshopify.com\/products\/4in-fern-staghorn","provider":"Carlyz Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
