{"product_id":"platycerium-bifurcatum-corne-delan","title":"Platycerium bifurcatum | Staghorn Fern","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAlso known as the \"Staghorn Fern,\" this spectacular epiphytic plant is like no other! Its fertile fronds, which resemble actual elk antlers, emerge from a shield-shaped base that protects its roots. In nature, it grows attached to trees rather than in soil—a sculptural plant perfect for wall or hanging mounts, literally becoming a living work of art. 🌿\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLight\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright, indirect light—never direct sun, which would burn the fronds. A lack of light causes fronds to pale and elongate, a sign that it is seeking more brightness.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWatering\u003c\/strong\u003e: Unlike most plants, it does not grow in soil! If mounted on a board, soak the entire piece (moss and plant) in water for about 15-20 minutes once a week, then let it drain thoroughly before rehanging. If in a pot, let the top of the soil dry out between waterings. Brown tips = lack of water; blackening at the base of the fronds = excess water.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHumidity\u003c\/strong\u003e: Requires high humidity (60-65% or more).
