Care Notes: This plant’s unique foliage and that it can be easily mounted to a variety of objects has been attributed to its growing popularity. We recommend a few options. You could use a piece of flat cork bark using the method shown in this video. Once mounted, this can be easily hung indoors or outdoors, depending on climate, and is easy to maintain with minimal care. They are also an excellent choice for planting in kokedamas.

Shipping Notes: 

As a good practice, Josh's Frogs recommends washing all plants thoroughly removing as much soil as possible with dechlorinated water before placing them in their final home. Live plants may vary in color, size, and appearance.

Great little plant that will get larger

My plant arrived in great condition and is a very healthy specimen. I'm using mine to help block some spillover brightness from the LED plant lights I have in my bearded dragon enclosure in my living room. Please review the video before purchasing. Stag horn ferns require special mounting and care but if you follow instructions you'll have a beautiful plant for many, many years. I recommend purchasing a bark cork flat with the plant for mounting if you're not already familiar with alternate mounting methods for these plants.
