Houseplant of the week: staghorn fern

Staghorn Fern.

Why will I love it?
The staghorn fern, Platycerium bifurcatum, is an otherworldly-looking plant native to Java, New Guinea and Australia. It’s a fern that grows epiphytically – without soil – on the trunks and branches of trees. Many of us try to replicate this at home, mounting the plant on a piece of wood or displaying it as a hanging plant.
