You will receive the actual plant or similar. It is shown in 90 x 90 pot.
The plant is ussually solitary and a globular shape, green cactus covered in white wool and hair-like white spines. It thrives in bright, sunny spots but can also handle slight shade. It requires well-draining soil with a bit of small gravel mixed in to enhance drainage. During the growing season, water the plant deeply once the soil feels dry to the touch.
Care Instructions
Follow these detailed care instructions to keep your Elkhorn Fern thriving:
Mounting
Elkhorn ferns are epiphytic, meaning they naturally grow attached to trees. For best results:
- Mount on wood, cork, or similar materials
- Use sphagnum moss around the roots
- Secure with fishing line or plant-safe wire until established
Watering
Proper watering is crucial:
- Soak the root ball and shield fronds thoroughly when the moss feels dry
- Allow excess water to drain completely
- Reduce watering in winter
- Mist shield fronds occasionally
Light & Positioning
Place your fern where it receives:
- Bright, indirect light
- Protection from direct sun, especially midday
- Good air circulation
