The plant pictured is the actual one you will receive - shown in a pot 125mm across.
For best results, plant a small pot - not much wider than the plant, in a very free draining mix, and let them completely dry out between waterings.
Keep very dry during winter.
Please note - Plants are posted bare rooted- without pot and potting mix.
A name tag will be wrapped with your plant for easy identification.
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
