Staghorn ferns have broad, flat, fleshy leaves, making them a far cry from the familiar Boston fern or dainty maidenhair fern. Nearly 20 species of fern that are called "staghorn" exist in the genus Platycerium. All of them are epiphytes and none of them require soil, which gives them the nickname "air plants." In their native locales of Madagascar, Africa, Australia, Southeast Asia and South America, staghorns thrive when they grow on trees. Your staghorn will thrive if you mount it on a board or piece of driftwood, which you can hang on a wall. Does this Spark an idea?
