XL Mounted Staghorn Fern brings sculptural, antler-shaped foliage to a living wall display. Platycerium ‘Netherlands’ grows in a Kokedama-style moss mount secured to a 12 × 16-inch wooden plaque with hanging wire, ready to display indoors or in a protected outdoor space.

Points of interest

  • Upright and arching antler-shaped fronds create a dramatic display.
  • Rounded shield fronds protect the roots and mounting area. They naturally turn tan or brown with age and should not be removed.
  • An epiphytic growth habit allows the fern to grow outward from its moss mount rather than in conventional potting soil.
  • The wooden plaque and hanging wire are included.

What ships and estimated mature size

You will receive one live extra-large Platycerium ‘Netherlands’ Staghorn Fern mounted Kokedama-style on a 12 × 16-inch wooden plaque with hanging wire. Frond shape, color, size, shield-frond development, fullness, and wood grain vary naturally. Your plant and plaque will be similar to, but not exactly the same as, those shown.

With suitable care, mature fronds can extend approximately 2–3 feet or more, creating a broad, sculptural display. The plaque measurement describes the mount, not the overall plant dimensions.

Care guide

  • Light: Provide bright, indirect light. Gentle morning sun can be beneficial, but avoid prolonged hot afternoon sun.
  • Water: When the moss mount feels mostly dry, soak the mounted root ball in room-temperature water for about 10–20 minutes, generally around once a week. Allow it to drain thoroughly before rehanging. Adjust for temperature, humidity, airflow, and season rather than watering by the calendar alone.
  • Mounting medium: Keep the fern in its moss mount; conventional potting soil is not needed. Do not bury or remove the shield fronds.
  • Temperature: Keep warm and protect from frost, cold drafts, and temperatures below approximately 50°F.
  • Humidity: Moderate to high humidity with good airflow is preferred. A bright bathroom, covered patio, or humid indoor plant area can suit it.
  • Feeding: During active spring and summer growth, feed about monthly with a balanced fertilizer diluted to one-quarter strength. Apply during watering and avoid fertilizer buildup in the moss. Our 2 oz Slow-Release Fertilizer for Houseplants & Succulents is sold separately; use it as an alternative only if its label supports use on mounted ferns in moss, following the label directions rather than a pot-size dose. Do not dissolve slow-release granules for soaking or combine both feeding methods. Reduce or pause feeding in winter, during inactivity, or during extreme heat or cold.
  • Pruning: Remove only fully dead or damaged antler fronds with clean tools. Do not peel away brown shield fronds, which protect the roots and mount.
  • Maintenance: Inspect fronds and moss regularly. Preserve the natural surface of the fronds and avoid unnecessary handling.
  • Remounting: As the colony grows, check the plaque, hanging wire, and attachment points. Support the plant securely when maintaining or enlarging its mount, taking care not to damage the shield fronds.
  • Propagation: Mature plants may produce offsets, or pups, around the base. Leave them attached for a larger colony or separate carefully once established.
  • Mount care: Use secure hanging hardware rated for the combined weight of the wood, wet moss, and growing fern. Protect walls and flooring from drips after watering.
  • Troubleshooting: Tan or brown mature shield fronds are normal, not a reason to remove them. Review moisture and drainage if the moss stays constantly wet; adjust watering as conditions change.

Pet safety: Generally considered non-toxic to cats and dogs. Not intended for chewing or eating.
