The generic name Platycerium comes from the Greek word meaning "broad horn". These plants are grown for their attractive antler-like fronds (leaves). The plant bears 2 types of fronds; the sterile fronds, which are flat, round and located at the base of the fern and the fertile fronds, which are irregular, lobed and usually ascending from the plant. Spores appear as brownish masses on the tips of the antler-like fertile fronds. Staghorn ferns grow best in a high temperature, 60-80°F or higher and will tolerate a low temperature of 50°F. Will grow very well in the low humidity conditions of the average home. These Staghorn Ferns have a 4-6 inch frond-span and are growing in 2.5 to 3 inch plastic pots containing sphagnum moss.
