Product Details
🌿 Description
Staghorn Fern, botanically known as Platycerium bifurcatum, is a unique epiphytic fern that naturally grows on trees rather than in soil. It features two types of fronds: flat shield fronds that attach to surfaces and antler-shaped fronds that extend outward, giving it a dramatic, sculptural look. Perfect for mounting on boards or hanging displays, it brings a lush rainforest feel to any space.
