Staghorn Fern – Platycerium bifurcatum | Mounted Epiphyte | Sculptural & Pet-Friendly Indoor Fern

The Staghorn Fern is a striking epiphytic plant with antler-shaped fronds that bring wild, organic elegance to any space. Native to the rainforests of Australia and Southeast Asia, it naturally grows on trees, making it ideal for mounting on wood or hanging in baskets. Its shield-like base fronds and forked fertile fronds create a living sculpture that thrives indoors with minimal fuss. A favorite among plant stylists and collectors, it’s also non-toxic—safe for homes with pets and children.
