How do you care for a Staghorn Fern?

Cultivation Most species of Platycerium ferns are not difficult to keep at all while I find that other species are quite tricky. They make an excellent picture in an indoors garden, growing on a tree outside or on a specific mounting to display the fern. I have always found them versatile and quite easy to grow.

It is always good to remember that they are naturally found in tropical to subtropical parts of the globe and they always do best in conditions as close to their natural habitat as possible. As I live in Pretoria, South Africa I can unfortunately not grow them all outdoors as it gets much too cold during Winter. Watering Some species have a very pronounced wet and dry seasons and it is best to try and determine in which habitat the fern that you want to grow is found (see the grouping on the "species page").

P. Quadridichotomum wilts completely and the fronds curl up and look quite dead but then recover soon after the first water is received. Even P.

Elephantotis can wilt ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
