Elkhorn/Staghorn Fern~ Anyone growing this??
Comments (21)Hi Everyone! Thanks again for all the help! Billy Rae, Great help and instructions.. as Josh said..;) Thank you! Toni~ It would look good mounted, but about the only place to do that is an area that would put it too close to the ceiling, or above the tv.. which hubby doesn't care for the idea there..LOL! Plus I worry all the loud noise from TV would upset the plant..LOL! Hubby gets all the loud, blow them up, die hard kinda movies...lol! I too was shocked at the size~ It was cramed into the middle of a huge table of house plants. All I had seen was one leaf sticking out. So I moved dozens to get to it! LOL! How do you water them if mounted? It would seem to get messy! Zusya~ Mike~ no room in my tub or shower...ROFL!! Its a very small bathroom, and no light due to awning over patio. :( My girlfriend has a garden tub I would kill for, but no room in my house for one... :( Mike~ Did you get your fern yet?? amccour~~ I hope yours comes back too! How is it doing now? Christopher~~ I don't think succulents would like a shower.. LOL! I could see where a tree would or ferns.. I have threatend to throw the dogs in with hubby... LOL~ Brats need a bath. :) Thanks again~ Have a great day everyone! JoJo...See Moreany tips on this fern?
Comments (3)Initial, it's Plumosis alright..do you have a cool, bright spot? They love summering outdoors, so if possible, set in a shady area, under a tree, or near an obstruction. Indoors, place in a bright spot to direct sun. Plumosis, and their relatives Asparagus, Ming, and Fox Tail need similar care. Bright light, cool temps, some humidity. They dote on rain. After a storm, plant perks up. Plusmosis aren't true ferns, they're related to asparagus. They need slightly acidic soil, with a pH of 6.1-6.5 Mine are rarely fertilized, 2-3 times a year with palm fertilizer. Epsom Salts every other month, too. Don't let soil dry, otherwise fronds yellow and drop, but roots shouldn't sit in soggy soil either. Plumosis grow into beautiful, large plants. One reason I rarely fertilize is, unless you plan on tossing, if given regular feedings the plant will outgrow its pot in no time. They need constant potting anyway, so if given monthly feedings, you'll end up repotting every few months, especially during growing season. Plumosias look great hanging before a sunny window. They stand out, especially when stems grow long, near the ground. In autumn, they produce white flowers and green berries..After a time, berries redden. Good luck, Toni...See MoreStaghorn Fern BLOODTIP
