Description
A spectacular ephiphyte whose velvety, broad and billowing fertile fronds resemble the ears of an elephant. Wonderful silvery blue-green colouration. Possesses a refined sculptural stillness. Growth emerges from a central mounting plate of rounded sterile shield fronds; these gradually form a shallow, cupped basal structure which must be left undisturbed, as it protects the root system, retains moisture and anchors plants. Fertile fronds mature to lengths of 18–36" under ideal indoor conditions. Staghorn Ferns may be grown in planters or mounted to supports for display in suspension or against a wall. Best suited to our small planters from Bergs Potter. Thrives in bright indirect to filtered sunlight, moderate humidity and well-draining substrate. Avoid exposure to direct afternoon sun, as this may scorch and permanently damage leaves.
