Staghorn ferns are unique plants that grow on trees or rocks. They have long, antler-like leaves that can look like the horns of a deer. These ferns love humidity and can be found in tropical rainforests.
生息地: Rainforests
The Staghorn Fern is a unique epiphyte, showcasing two distinct frond types: large, round, sterile basal fronds that start green and turn brown to form a cup, and elongated, deeply lobed, fertile fronds resembling deer or elk antlers, often light green with a velvety texture underneath.
