Plants | Staghorn Fern

Description

Botanical Name: Platycerium bifurcatum
Common Name(s): Staghorn fern, Elkhorn fern
Description: Native to Java and southeastern Australia, the Birds Nest ‘Staghorn’ fern has a fuzzy texture to the leaves that can get very large if taken care of. The name bifurcatum means 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 ferns.
