# So bought this Staghorn fern plant 2 months ago and so excited that…

_Posted by Terrie on 2025-08-14_

So bought this Staghorn fern plant 2 months ago and so excited that it’s growing a basal frond❣️❣️❣️ Thought for sure it wouldn’t survive because this plant kinda intimidates me 😀.. any tips would be appreciated…I do have a humidifier and it’s under grow lights (about 8 hours) and in a window with indirect light as well..

I don’t have this one (yet lol) but I keep all my ferns in self watering pots

You’re doing great! IME staghorn is the easiest fern to grow. This is my home staghorn. I also have one at work that’s happy with only artificial light.

So pretty 😍…. Thinking im not going to mount it but would like to try it as a hanging kokedama ball…but 🤷‍♀️..

I think a kokedama would be awesome!
