How to grow the Fern with Elephant Ears

🍀 How to grow the Fern with Elephant Ears

Continued from previous post

  • 🐘 If you love dramatic foliage but don't want the diva attitude, this gentle giant is for you!

  • 🐘 Platycerium elephantotis - Elephant Ear Staghorn Fern - is native to tropical Africa, it loves warm temps, high humidity, and indirect light. It thrives in partial sun to bright indirect light and should be kept evenly moist. As it matures, mount it on a wooden plaque, since as one of the largest staghorn ferns in cultivation, it can become a massive specimen! Elephant Ear Staghorn Fern is sure to impress your gardening friends.

  • 🐘 A fantastic choice for shaded patios, trees, or fern walls - it brings jungle vibes without being fussy. More sculptural than spiky, elephantotis is a must-have for collectors, houseplant lovers, and fern fans who want something out of the ordinary. It's big, bold, and undeniably cool.

  • 🐘Fun_facts: The bigger the fern, the better it gets - this species just keeps getting more majestic with age!
