Hi guys!! This plant is very sad looking. I want to pot it in a pot but I have no idea on how because he is a wall plant. Can I even pot him? Any advice is well taken!

Do you know what type of plant it is?

I would try to gently remove it. Some roots might break off from the wall but that’s okay, just do your best.

Check out the roots. If anything looks black and/or mushy, cut it off.

I think the plant just looks dehydrated

Staghorn fern?

### Dog commented on 2024-06-06

Stag horn fern

### Malinda commented on 2024-06-06

I found some videos of reviving stag horn ferns id post the links but it’s against the app rules . One I saw said to soak it over night fern side down in Luke warm water . It could help but it looks pretty dry so might look worse before it gets better . I’m actually in the same boat with 2 orchids I aquired from a neighbor .
